British VPN usage
You’d like to think so but actually plenty do. To name a few notable ones that each have millions of users: OperaVPN, Hola, BetterNet, and HotSpot Shield. These are all free or have a free tier, and all sell your data in order to maintain a profit. People just see it’s a VPN and automatically assume

Here are some examples of companies and practices associated with this: Sensor Tower: This analytics platform owned multiple free VPN apps that collected user inform
