Hi, I see on old Reddit posts that [privacytools.io](http://privacytools.io) and [privacyguides.org](http://privacyguides.org) were once one in the same?  
I actually discovered [privacytools.io](http://privacytools.io) before, but distrusted after questionable recommendations.

What caused the rift ?
