Yeah we don't want another Kape Technologies acquisition[0]. Kape already own Cyberghost, PrivateInternetAccess and Zenmate. If they bought Mullvad, I would immediately stop using Mullvad since Kape is Israeli and could possibly be tapped by Mossad (I keep an open mind about that however).

For example GE makes engines for Boeing airplanes. They may have a cooperative agreement and mutual non-disclosure agreements that allow engineers and designers to share engine attachment and airframe details freely, but that doesn't mean GE employees have access to information on the radio headsets.
The fiber runs right out of the building.
You use a VPN to obscure your client IP from websites and app backends, not government mass surveillance.

I closed my account with PIA right after the sellout was announced. I received several emails with form letters about Kape actually being really dedicated to privacy and you can totally trust them buying PIA. Made me think that they took a noticeable hit.
