Questionable content?
Ummmm ... warrant for what???
Wow ./.// (just having fun here) but you dont think everyone who wants privacy and prevents major corporations from building data bases on themselves and their families are criminals do you?
Which goes back up a few posts to my other, it amazes me how so many Americans could care less that corporations use their personal data for profit. Ummm sorry but not me and I am not a criminal, heck, I along with many other Americans are among the most upstanding person on planet earth.
SO back to VPNs, you are wrong but that is ok, not all VPNs long data, but who the heck cares? I just dont want my data shared with corporations, simple, not with Spectrum, not with ATT, not with GOOGLE, not with anyone. Its called privacy, a god given right.
Using a VPN prevents Spectrum my internet provider from selling my data.
What the heck does this have to do with law enforcement? Nothing.
Gosh, darn, freaking amazing that some people think Privacy is criminal, gosh, one of the founding principles of this great country.
Just because you pay a company like Spectrum for internet service does not mean you have to lay down like a hooker and let them use you and your family for money.

Ps, overkill, you got it all wrong, using a VPN does prevent corporations from using your data, you know, like your internet provider?
the one company that knows everything about you and your family.
They do not and can not break the encryption, heck, might even be illegal.
(again, just having fun here)
Agreed..not everyone using a VPN is a criminal (did I touch a nerve?🤔) but you can bet everyone who's a online criminal or using the net for illicit activity...is using a VPN, so my comment was hardly out of bounds. ...
You're funny..I said -> using a VPN doesn't guarantee anonymous as some log..then you say I'm "wrong".."not all VPN's log"...so I'm not "wrong" as you stated, you actually agree with me....‚
Fact is, some VPN's log and there is no law preventing them nor do they have to disclose to you they are. There is always, always a record of your online activity somewhere. While a VPN creates an encrypted tunnel it doesn't prevent websites from using tracking cookies (inside that tunnel) and data logging. The only one you've cut out of the loop is your ISP and even then your ISP has ways to log your online activity and later gather that data even if you use a VPN service. In other words, your ISP can "see" what proxy or VPN server you're using and share that info to law enforcement if compelled to do so.
You really should learn more about this topic before spouting off...use your Google machine, go on Reddit or similar forums and talk to people that do network security for a living. The only true, 100% way to stay anonymous on the internet and prevent your info from getting into the wrong hands...is to stay off the internet... otherwise your "security" is more shades of grey than B&W.
