Is your home machine, your phone, better protected than the VPN servers? I bet you're not as good at IT security as the IT security staff VPN companies hire

If your threat model includes nation state actors, you're best off not using networked computers

I am all about good tinfoil but some of these people acting as if they are SNOWDEN lol

Yes if feds wanted to catch you shitposting, watching big titied asian porn and downloading coldplay... I think there raised ways than compromising a VPN provider.

Unless it is a honey pot, then use a different VPN provider. Gonna need trust at the end of the day.
