How is this less secure than just using your ISP with no hops though? How do you evaluate "trust" in this situation?
What if your ISP is working with the local cops or US government directly?

Trusting local parties of US parties is not a strange thought, especially since I can influence their supervision with my vote. Also, it seems plausible that the US is headed into dictatorship or civil war in the near future. Nether scenario helps me trust the US jurisdiction.
