>      On Monday, the Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT) -- a
>    US-based privacy group -- has filed a complaint with the US
>    Federal Trade Commission (FTC) accusing one of today's largest
>    VPN providers of deceptive trade practices.  In a 14-page
>    complaint, the CDT accuses AnchorFree -- the company behind
>    the Hotspot Shield VPN -- of breaking promises it made to its
>    users by sharing their private web traffic with online
>    advertisers for the purpose of improving the ads shown to its
>    users.
