Likely under the command of law enforcement and without informing any clients.

    Stop the service and inspect the machine for law violations. I’m ok to that. But proxying the network without a notice is literally spying.

    Reverse the case, if a Chinese/Russian provider did this, would you still be OK? It’s funny US and west countries blaming easterns for spying while doing far far more.

      The entire term wiretap comes from spying on phone conversations upstream without the target’s knowledge. This is no different.

      China and Russia are 1000% doing this and more to anything hosted anywhere under their jurisdiction. The CCP brags about the Great Firewall.

      I don’t necessarily agree with any of it, but I am pointing out that changing providers to one who wasn’t in the news is not a way to get around government data collection.
