Why is PIA no longer safe?

I read a self post on here the other day with someone claiming you should no longer use PIA, due to CISPA passing. Why is this? What information exactly can they access, and how do they know to access it?

My question is IF they don't keep logs as most VPNs claim, then they really have nothing to give up in the first place, right? It seems like it would be a stupid idea to log information (since that would require resources and maintenance) when there is no reason to do so.

While CISPA LETS the government audit any company, as far as I know it doesn't REQUIRE companies to keep track of data. Correct me if I'm wrong.

The question then is: do they really NOT keep logs?

Because they are in the US and CISPA got signed into law... CISPA lets the government to audit any service they wish with little to no government interference and no oversight in a nutshell CISPA does alot of other stuff but that's the jest of it... This is only limited to US so any provider in the US is a no no idk about there overseas services but I'm guessing records stored in the US means at least you buying the service is enough for further scrutiny

I would imagine it's a lot of meta data collection if there is a zero knowledge encryption configuration they have going on, also use good judgement and good opsec you probably shouldn't trust your life solely on a single VPN to keep you safe particularly when you don't know who is running it, regardless of the country it operates in

You do realize that you can just say things without any actual basis right? Anyone can do it at anytime actually. The problem is that it can sometimes make things seem as if they have any grounding when they do not.

As to whether this alleged decree is indeed legitimate, I cannot pretend to be sure of. I will express however that I do hold a not-insignificant bit of doubt in regards to it, if I'm being frank.

But I'm not Frank now. So if I'm being TPR I'd say your title is implying a false consensus.

EDIT: I swear to God I didn't even know about CISPA til this thread. I don't usually consume capitalist media unless otherwise prompted.
