Mullvad got raided by the authorities and it was found that they quite literally did not have the data. That is the kind of privacy I want.

I miss the innocence of the early internet. Default trust everyone. Corporations and governments clueless. ISPs that didnt keep traffic logs (storage was just too small/expensive). <br><br>Money ruins everything. 🥺

If you're going to commit an internet crime, don't use your personal device and don't do it from your own home and your own ISP.

I remember Private Internet Access had no logs for fbi. But then it was sold to another company.

The Lunduke Journal told us about the risks of using Rust. The founder himself posted years after the development of Rust that he had created a backdoor in Rust since it's existence.

The thing is if they want to find you bad enough they will. All it takes is 1 mess up. Look what happened with the the silk road guy. The thing is there is no safety for anyone or anything unless your the size of Nestle where you can be indirectly responsible for the deaths of over 20 million baby's and face only slaps on the wrist

It is theoretical because otherwise that number they generated for the customer would never be able to be matched up to an account

Yea vpn can say they will never turn over info or we don't have anything to keep, but that can change over night and they will never tell you!

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmUFGrbcdp0&t=147">2:27</a> Not quite. The content is still HTTPS encrypted end-to-end. Unlike a postcard, they can't see the content, just the addresses.
