Why using Google VPN is a terrible idea
Google putting out a VPN to "protect people's privacy" is pretty ironic, considering their whole business model is to invade users' privacy as much as possible to better target people with their advertisements. When you choose a VPN, you should keep two things in mind:
1. Never use a free VPN, because those are generally run by companies who will turn around and monetize your data. The saying "If it's free, you are the product" certainly applies here.
2. Never trust Google to respect your privacy.

Make no mistake, despite what they might claim, Google’s VPN is an attack on internet privacy. What we need is not an internet that puts Google first, but an internet that puts people first, and puts people in control over their data. We can all take a step toward this better internet by saying ‘No’ to Google VPN.
