This feels like someone scuttling the ship.
- VPN based in Hong Kong.
- VPN claims to not keep logs but does (ie. willing to descieve customers and secretly compromise their security).
- New national security law effecting Hong Kong speech and liberty.
- VPN likely to be challenged to turn over user data to Chinese authorities in the relatively near future.
- Hong Kongers acquiring VPN services in droves for the explicit purpose of avoiding Chinese state monitoring of their internet traffic and communications records.
If I was working at UFO and saw the risks to my fellow citizens created not just by the company's poor security but their willingness to descieve customers I'd worry the company would quietly hand over whatever the Chinese authorities asked for - no "warrant canaries" or truth in advertising - and if probably look to throw a figurative grenade into their operations. If that meant data exposure, better now before they perfect the application of the new security laws then later when everyone feels comfortable and the CCP is just sucking up all of UFO's traffic and logs.
