Gizmodo posted an article citing an investigation by Proton, the company behind Proton VPN. The post states that 85 percent of mobile VPN apps in US app stores track users. The analysis describes tracking beyond incidental analytics and notes that users install these apps to avoid trackers. Gizmodo's generated headline reads Report Finds 85 Percent Of VPNs Track Users Instead Of Protecting Privacy. The packet presents the claim through the Gizmodo account and its linked source summary but contains no independent corroboration from other sources.
