I’ve been reading through Signal’s government requests 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.
Because that’s not our threat model.
I want to be anonymous for the sites I visit. I want my ISP, who’s likely selling my data, to have none. I want to use a WiFi without anybody sniffing.
I’m lucky enough to live in a county were I’m not prosecuted for my ideas or who I am, and I’m not doing anything illicit aside from torrent.
So the hassle doesn’t seem needed in this case. If I think Mullvad can harm me if they know my name, then I wouldn’t use it at all, even with private payments.
