source? I have heard good things about Mullvad but I'm pretty sure they would not break laws

sounds like they complied with the court orders? Proton also doesn't log IPs, unless ordered by court. I'm willing to bet that if a court ordered Mullvad to start logging all traffic, they would comply, at least until they were able to move jurisdictions or something

Watch the Proton evangelist move the goalposts they set

[–] hirihit640@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 hours ago

from the start I asked for a company that obstructed court order. Show me where I moved goalposts

I'm holding a company to account for promising this.

So you thought this meant they would break the law? Nobody else expects that. There are more reasonable ways to interpret the messaging
