Affected page

https://www.privacyguides.org/en/basics/vpn-overview/#sources-and-further-reading

Description

Looking at the VPN page we could clean up the "Sources and Further Reading" and "Related VPN Information" sections by writing our own article on VPN ownership.

I'm not a fan of cross linking to those sites mentioned in #2117 and https://github.com/privacyguides/privacyguides.org/pull/2112/files#diff-6ff877175c1e0d1e526cece2a0fb849033a13b945a45da94f309780edb4d0f6f (to a lesser degree) due to the fact they're owned by astro-turfing companies, or VPN companies themselves.

The data is public information, so there's no issues of plagiarism there.

The map on Windscribe's article is a nice touch though https://embed.kumu.io/9ced55e897e74fd807be51990b26b415#vpn-company-relationships and we might be able to do something with that.

I think maybe this should just be part of the VPN overview page and not its own blog article.

It honestly could be either... I feel as though @jonaharagon would be the best to write the article, but I could do it if people want? cc @privacyguides/team

I found anther project and it seems like good source:
https://whoisyourvpn.com/about-this-project/ (uses cloudflare and google analytics)

There's also the ivpn tips: https://www.ivpn.net/blog/who-owns-your-vpn-you-should-find-out/

whoisyourvpn.com has AI-generated articles in the countries section. No about info. Otherwise good website.
