I doubt that if they sell their users as bots they will do anything about the network being used as a botnet and there is nothing you can do about it, especially considering the users 'responsible' won't even know what they are taking part in.

It's not clear that part of the article is even true.

They appear to just sell VPN server by the GB. I see nothing about a botnet in there, there is no traffic amplification or ability to run programs on the clients.

you obviously don't understand this :)

The point of that bit is that it's not only possible, but borderline-trivial, for a malicious application (e.g. spambot, DDoSbot, etc.) to hook into the API and flood a target using Hola users as endpoints; the article states that such an incident has already happened, and that 24-hour captchas have been instituted for all users as a result in an attempt to stifle future such attacks on 8chan.
