Your internet service provider is one of these parties. With VPN, you have a large choice of whom to trust and an easy option to switch.

whilst I somewhat agree, the original SO question was specifically about free VPN providers.

I pay my ISP a significant amount each month, and I expect in return that they’re at least not going to inject extra JavaScript into all my browsing. A free VPN on the other hand? They’ve gotta make money, I’ll be things get shady real fast.
