You're the kind of guy who confuses and conflates security, privacy, and anonymity all the while somehow expecting companies to operate beyond the law.

You can't make this shit up. Hahahaha

Produmb I guess. You do know they had to change their marketing material and backpedal several times already.

They love to blame the end user for their inability to get their act together. For instance, storing credit card information on their servers when they don't have to and if they really respected privacy they wouldn't. They love to pay that lip service.

I even read an article they published where they insinuated turning on logging was more beneficial than anonymity. Just plain stupid honestly.

People who think that throwing money at a problem are welcome to play security theatre with them. Another sucker is born everyday.
