    I have a friend who works for a German ISP.

    He personally has set up a system which automatically provides all the data requested by the police, without checking whether the request is formal and valid.

    I rather trust a VPN provider from a jurisdiction where logging any user data is not required by law. Or an SPN, where even if logging has to be enabled by law, it is technologically impossibe to extract a user’s activity from the data.

      So you have a specific reason to trust certian VPNs over your ISP. My point was just that VPNs aren’t inherently better than ISPs

        I see what you mean, but I think that point is pretty inherent.

        Most if not all countries have similar laws related to getting user data from ISPs by making them log it for some time. And people can only use the ISPs from their country.

        On the other hand no country can force their law on a VPN provider from a different jurisdiction, yet people worldwide can use those VPN providers.
