Now if VPN providers would do the same because they can be compelled to log just like Proton was.

yup - you can claim all day long you don't log IPs and you may very well be telling the truth.

but if you live somewhere that a court can compell you to log IPs, then it's all rendered useless.

So a VPN provieder has to check with the laws of all the countries in the world to be able to function ? does'nt make sense you cant create logs if you don't log anything ..
computers and network devices, by their very nature, log all kinds of shit.

you actually have to go in and disable default logging in applications and OS level functions in order to make a system NOT log something.

a court is just compelling them to turn it back on or more specifically, turn it on as it may apply to a singular user.

and yes, if you operate some place - you have to comply with its laws. there's no technical way around this unless you're going full darknet.

Well if you can bribe some people in the middle that does not count hence the Panama based ISPs
