      And I’m sure the government hasn’t complelled them to do anything in the background. The absence of logs doesn’t mean shit, it’s easy to ship them to whomever and never touch a disk.

          Move that goal post a bit more. It’s clear you haven’t read up on how it’s used all the time.

          to not let a state spy on you

          I’m not saying I or the average person on this forum needs to use these measures. The average person isn’t hiding data or capable of hiding from the state completely. But do not advertise a commercial VPN as a tool to remain private from the state. It is a worthless tool unless the person on the other end is going to jail for you.

            What goalposts? I just called you crazy. I for one don’t think the government is that sophisticated or competent given everything else they’ve done :p

              Again, stuff like this already happens. It’s not a secret. Governments regularly compel commercial entities and put them under gag order.

              Your ignorant comments are irresponsible. I suspect anyone actually hiding from the state already knows this.
