   Google kills “One” VPN service, says “people simply weren’t using it”

   Did anyone want a VPN from the Internet's largest data collector?

     @arstechnica Who normal want to use something that is a fake and yet another google driven piece of junk? It is not a real vpn, but only an semi transparent proxy. Identical one to this later implemented "for free" in their Pixel phones. But for this "for free" people are in the reality paying with their own data and privacy. Funny, that they are killing the service not long after being accused of misinformation fraud vs customers, pulled to the light by some security researchers.🤣😂

     @arstechnica Yeah, the KGB also is having problems attracting users to its VPN.

     @arstechnica It's made by Google.That instantly kills half the reason to use a VPN.
