There is nothing wrong with data mining itself. It's completely neutral technology. You are just thrwoing shade with link flooding (those who read the links find out that they don't credibly confirm what you say).

Tesonet provides all kinds of services, like hosting, software development and cybersecurity for it's customers.

Tesonet's Oxylabs offers "10+ Million Mobile IPs in Every Country and Every City in the World"[1], which might explain why ProtonVPN, whose Android app is signed by Tesonet[2], is a free service. This is how Luminati, Tesonet's largest competitor in Residential Proxies, operates: it provides a free VPN service, Hola VPN, and then connects its users into a botnet[3], which is used for data mining operations.

It turns out, that Luminati Networks Ltd sued UAB Tesonet over patent infringement in "Large-scale web data extraction products and services with residential proxy network (oxylabs.io)"[1] in July 2018.
