@mom2jel Only speaking for myself, I’m looking at it strictly from a safety/security/privacy perspective.
Right now, if I post a message that really offends someone/crosses a line and they decide they want to sue me, they’re going to get a subpoena that asks the website where I said something nasty to reveal my IP. That IP is going to lead to my provider, who will then lead them to my door. With a true “no logs” VPN, that could never happen. The trail would lead nowhere. There’s also the security advantage - much harder to get attacked if none of the nasty people can even see your true IP address. Third, I’m not really thrilled that my provider can now log and monetize the history of everything I do online. I don’t do anything funky and disclosure wouldn’t likely harm me, but should Yahoo/Comcast/AOL, whatever ISP, really be allowed to sell data telling someone that I google for “sinus infection cure” an average of five times a year and I’m therefore a poor health risk and a great target for banner ads for cold relief products? Again, with a VPN, that trail leads nowhere and nobody knows my business except me (and, debatably, the VPN provider if they don’t keep their word).
