> Once again this shows the huge disconnect between the government authorities and the tech industry. Authorities have to follow their process and collect evidence, or document the absence of discovered evidence. They can’t simply read the website, shrug their shoulders, and decide not to investigate a key part of a criminal case because the website says the company won’t have the data. They are obligated to explore the possibility of data existing and to document the fact that it could not be found. Assuming the evidence doesn’t exist isn’t an option. They have to document it. I know Mullvad is generally trusted by the community, but you also have to remember that several VPN companies have claimed to not keep logs but were later found to have data useful to criminal cases. I think the real disconnect is in the comments from people who think this is the government being dumb. They’re not, they’re just doing their job correctly.
