Google Play Store adding ‘Verified’ badge for VPN apps

Google says this “list is not exhaustive and doesn’t fully represent all the criteria used to display the badge” and that “other factors contribute to the evaluation,” though “fulfilling these requirements significantly increases your chances.”

Initial VPN apps that have the Verified badge include Nord, hide.me, and Aloha Browser.

why do I have the feeling that mullvad and proton will never get this badge?

Reverse canary?
