In most countries the law doesn't say you have to log everything about your users, but it does say that if you log it and the police ask for it then you have to give the data to them.

- immibis 10mo agoThat's why companies that actually care about privacy (I think there are only two - Mullvad and Signal?) make a point of not ever capturing the data to begin with, and deleting what they do capture as soon as possible.

Their VPN servers don't have hard drives. Mullvad is one of the rare examples of doing more than marketing. https://mullvad.net/en/blog/we-have-successfully-completed-our-migration-to-ram-only-vpn-infrastructure https://mullvad.net/en/blog/we-have-successfully-completed-o...
