The GPL is a copyleft license which allows for use, inspection, and modification. If you distribute the code in either the original or modified form, then you must provide source code licensed under the GPL.
For someone motivated this code could be brought to back to life.
If any of this code is in that offered by ZippoApps, then ZippoApps needs to be providing those sources. Not doing so would be a violation of the license. Those who authored this code could sue for breech of copyright.
Anyway, there is something that a motivated group of developers could rejuvenate and give its users freedom.
Also worth considering is anything owned by Kape technologies (ExpressVPN, Private Internet Access, and others). Considering how close private companies and intelligence organizations are in Israel nobody should be trusting these companies with their data despite their claims that they keep no logs.
There's also another company (Bright Data) that specializes in web scraping. The way they accomplish this is by commandeering your internet connection to get around bot detection and create fake user profiles on social networks when you use one of their apps like Hola. They already have data from most LinkedIn accounts available for purchase. After October 7 they even created a system to adapt these social media accounts for Hasbara purposes.
