 VPNs are another problem. Now they have data on all users who want privacy. If I was government, I would get their logs or even set up my own providers to spy on users 
 Mullvad was raided and asked to provide user data. They couldn't comply because they have zero user data. 
 Where and by whom? 
 Let me Google it for you.

 Thanks. The sarcasm wasn’t lost on me. I just won’t be using google next time. 
 Mullvand is located in Sweden. Swedish police can lawfully hack devices.

Do not relay on any services located in Sweden when it comes to privacy or security.

 
 "Crypto AG rejected these accusations as "pure invention", asserting in a press release that "in March 1994, the Swiss Federal Prosecutor's Office initiated a wide-ranging preliminary investigation against Crypto AG, which was completed in 1997. The accusations regarding influence by third parties or manipulations, which had been repeatedly raised in the media, proved to be without foundation."" 
 Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
