Privacy-focused company DuckDuckGo is launching a tool to remove data from people-search websites, a VPN, and an identity theft restoration service.

Curious about everyone’s thoughts on this.

        What’s the problem with Nord? I have never used one of their products so I’m not informed

          The only thing I know about them is how well advertised they are, which is a turn off.

      In general, shudder at the thought of supporting the anti-broker industry. Data brokers can play both sides. Guest the only solution is legislation?

      Not end to end encrypted afaict. The only way id ever consider a service like this is if it was e2e.

      Also incogni is owned by surfshark which i think is more important than their partnership with nordvpn
