Has Mullvad ever been given a court order to reveal personal info about a user? - Lemmy

I’ve been reading through Signal’s government requests [https://signal.org/bigbrother/] and couldn’t find a similar section on Mullvad’s website. I’d be curious to read about them if there are any. It would seem unlikely to me that Mullvad has never received any kind of court order for information about a user.

What could they even give? They don’t even ask for an email, and they claim to run everything you browse as RAM that never gets held ornrecorded.

Credit card numbers, assuming you would pay for the service that way

I don’t see why people would use a credit card to pay for a vpn, it seems like it would totally defeat the purpose. I guess if you get ahold of an anonymous card then it would be fine, but using a card in your name to pay for an anonymous service just seems wacky to me.

I’m curious, does anyone here pay for their vpn with something thatvis in their name? If so, why?

What purpose is it defeating if they are not storing anything besides your credit card payment information?

Yeah, if they’re looking for your data on VPN services, they obviously already know you use it.
