The focus on this post was primarily the surveillance and lack of privacy Israel is known for, though genocide is obviously not a good look either. Relating themselves to Israel in anyway does lower the company's reputation and the trust it inspires.

I am admittedly not tech-savvy so I'm not really able to understand the fine print myself, though if they conducted their operations within israel that'd definitely be alarming from a surveillance pov. I'm not sure it would register as merely "some metal" to me, if that were the case.

However I know they're in Switzerland and I don't have any idea how "exit Nodes" and the sort function.
