Just heard about it while listening to the wan show (LTT) from the 22nd.

Seems that linux Tech Tips has suspended sponsorship reads until they (PIA/Kape Technologies) can confirm they will still litigate against getting data i.e. protect users and they suspended advert reads because they have not been able to get confirmation of this.

So if you are/were using PIA because of their strong user privacy values, you may want to consider this.
