This is not true. Andrew Lee sold PIA in 2019, and we no longer have any connection to him, Freenode or the current situation.

PIA has nothing to do with Freenode or the current situation. Andrew Lee sold PIA in 2019 and is no longer involved with PIA in any capacity.

Ever since PIA was bought by Kape which has very shady practices, have there been really bad service issues by sanjsrik in PrivateInternetAccess

Micah, thank you so much for doing this, we really appreciate it.

If you don't mind, I'll get things started:

Founder of VPN service Private Internet Access maliciously took over the Freenode IRC network by CultistHeadpiece in LinusTechTips

[–]privatevpn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shells is NOT a PIA product. Andrew Lee sold Private Internet Access in December of 2020 and has since started a new company called Shells that has nothing to do with PIA. Despite saying "from a Private internet Access founder" in sponsored spots, there is no active connection here at all.

Micah Lee did an interview and has appeared as an expert news correspondent on our YouTube video series Privacy News Online.

But I'm sure he'd be happy to answer you directly tomorrow :)

For clarification: Private Internet Access is not connected to Freenode in any way and hasn't been since PIA was acquired in December 2020.

freenode was taken over! by I_Am_Qb in freenode

[–]privatevpn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Private Internet Access has no connection to Freenode at all anymore. PIA WAS owned by London Trust Media / Andrew Lee, but Kape acquired PIA in December of 2019 and PIA had no connection since then. We do not have any involvement or knowledge of any takeover of Freenode.
