Are you allowed to do that in US? I see the company is located in the USA, can companies disable logging just like that?

(Asking because I really don't know)

I don't know either, but I would guess there are no laws that says internet service operators must log anything.

But, banks and financial services now must obey "know your customer" laws so it's not beyond imagination that similar laws could be applied to websites and ISPs operating in a particular country.

What is truly absurd is that most websites default to logging activities. It's as if they actively conspired against their users.

In most countries the law doesn't say you have to log everything about your users, but it does say that if you log it and the police ask for it then you have to give the data to them.

I think you mean if a court asks for it. And they have to ask for something you actually have

That's why companies that actually care about privacy (I think there are only two - Mullvad and Signal?) make a point of not ever capturing the data to begin with, and deleting what they do capture as soon as possible.

Interesting that you mention those two as I'd not trust either with private data. They engage in too much magical thinking in their marketing for my liking...
