Comment on Censorship Tracker by dickie

The person or legal entity operating CensorshipTracker.com is not publicly identified.

The site describes itself as an “independent, community-sourced” and “non-commercial educational” project. Its terms repeatedly refer only to “the Site’s operator,” without naming a company, nonprofit, editor, or individual. The contact page likewise provides no ownership information.

What is disclosed is a close relationship with VP.NET and Bmail. The homepage labels them as sponsors or partners, and the project says it is seeking sponsors and strategic partners rather than donations.

Both brands lead back to the same business:

Bmail’s app listing names VP.NET LLC as its developer and describes Bmail as part of the VP.NET family.

VP.NET’s legal materials identify vp.net LLC as a Wyoming limited liability company.

VP.NET publicly identifies Andrew Lee, a co-creator of Private Internet Access, as a founder.

TorrentFreak’s company disclosure lists the founders or owners as Andrew Lee, Matt Kim, Mark Karpelès and Roger Ver.

Conclusion: CensorshipTracker.com appears to be an anonymously operated project that is sponsored by, partnered with, or otherwise closely connected to VP.NET LLC. There is not enough public evidence to state definitively that VP.NET LLC legally owns or directly operates the website. The site’s actual operator has chosen not to put their name on it.

CensorshipTracker.com is a transparency website run by people who do not appear interested in telling you who they are.

It tracks governments, companies, surveillance systems and censorship laws while identifying its own owner only as “the Site’s operator.”

Apparently the first thing censored was the About page.

The site says “verified, not vibes,” then its terms say not to rely on anything as accurate, complete or current.

It criticizes fake online consent, then claims that merely visiting the site means you agreed to a contract with an unidentified party.

It warns about digital tracking, but does not clearly explain what visitor data it collects, logs or shares.

It calls itself community-sourced, while the anonymous operator reserves ownership over the text, maps, code and design.

Maybe the project is useful. Maybe the information is accurate. Maybe the people behind it have legitimate reasons to stay private.

But a transparency watchdog wearing a ski mask is still funny.

Censorship Tracker demands accountability from everyone except Censorship Tracker.
