Mullvad processes all its VPN data directly in RAM, so it’s constantly rewritten and no data is saved because there isn’t even a disk for it... I wonder if it would be possible for Proton (or any other privacy-focused service) to do the same with all its services. They already don’t keep logs, but in that case they were ordered to keep them because they had the means to do it. If they weren’t physically capable of doing it, what would happen? I don’t think a court could force them to rework their infrastructure just for that (considering how expensive it would be).
