#4I don't get this kind of purchases. If McAfee intends to just let TunnelBear be TunnelBear, then what they're after must the business (as in the profit). In that case would there be more business sense in not selling, from the TunnelBear perspective?
Edit: Also TunnelBear isn't joining McAfee, or I doubt that they are. McAfee BOUGHT them. Joining implies that you merged the two businesses with no money changing hands.

Not in typical usage because that typically doesn't happen.

#6This is the opposite of privacy and you should be ashamed. You sold all of your customers’ info to Intel/McAfee at a price.

from somewhere else on the internet:
.......
On the hitlist of “Project CAMBERDADA”, an NSA-led initiative, were Russian giant Kaspersky, Finnish firm F-Secure, Romania’s BitDefender, Germany’s Avira, Slovakia’s ESET, South Korean giant AhnLab, as well as Czech vendors AVG and Avast. Some firm’s may have been on the list purely because of their association with Kaspersky. Israel’s Check Point, which licenses the Kaspersky anti-virus engine for its consumer product, ZoneAlarm, was also a target. Older versions of F-Secure also used the Kaspersky signature database, which contained lists of blacklisted malware.
GCHQ appears to have targeted Russian anti-virus provider Kaspersky, whilst the NSA has led an initiative to expose the tech of various partners and competitors.
But American anti-virus leaders McAfee and Symantec were not on the list. Neither was Sophos, the UK’s best-known anti-virus provider. .............
not on the list because they don't need to be on the list? ;D .. makes u wonder why they want a vpn provider... maybe it was too secure :P

A sale like this can allow the owners to cash out immediately many years of would-be profit. It's always an asymmetrical transaction, one side here thinks they can come out ahead, or just has different priorities.

This one was only a regular journey though. Must have been less money than the usual buyouts
