  "textContent": "The whole initiative is a joke. Its a few big VPN companies listing out multiples VPNs that they own to boost the membership, to make it seem legitimate.\n\nIvacy, Pure VPN - same company\nNord, Surfshark - same company\nIP Vanish, WLVPN, StrongVPN, Ziff Davis - same company\n\nThats basically half their membership owned by 3 companies. Those were just the relations that were easy to find.",
