This is almost exactly analogous to selling anonymous SIM cards (where they still exist). The jury (in the US) or the judge (anywhere else) is informed that I buy these cards in bulk, I sell dozens of them a week, and the IP (that Mullvad doesn’t log) is a dead end.ĭo you seriously believe that a judge or jury anywhere would sentence me for the crime brought forward, or that this would even hold water enough to be prosecuted in the first place? I’m defending myself in court in a democratic western country where people are assumed innocent until proven otherwise. Someone uses these gift cards and the tracking (that doesn’t exist) leads back to my store. Now assume that I’m running a corner store where I sell among other things these gift cards, that I bought from Amazon at a small markup. They are also under no obligation to do so, as far as I’m aware.īut let’s assume for the sake of argument that they did: let’s assume they log IP:s and sales of gift cards down to the social security number of the person who bought it. Judges and prosecutors never buy these arguments.įirst of all, Mullvad (like any serious VPN operator) do not log IP:s and one can probably safely assume they do not log who bought which gift card.
These sort of plausible deniability arguments only work in people's heads.
