I think this assumption is true of every VPN provider:
If the courts or intelligence services tell them to capture a username's data, or access to specific websites from all users, they will do it.
If the choice is between keep quiet and do it, or potentially get shutdown or arrested, you have to assume that almost everyone will do as they are told.
- wahsd 10y agoIs that a fair assumption? I guess at that point you are simply biding time because if it ever comes out or there is even just a suspicion that you are lying your business is dead as word spreads across the internet
- jameshart 10y agoAs word spreads across the internet that... what? That you comply with the law? Isn't it worse if word gets out that you deliberately evade legal compliance frameworks? When a bank is found to be skirting regulations around money laundering, the reaction is not typically 'good on them, standing up for our rights against the man!'.
- derefr 10y agoIf all your customers are criminals, then yes, your reputation hinges on not complying (or not yet having to comply) with the law.
