I'm not convinced that Kape is a worse owner, the evidence was weak. In addition, they sell privacy. If they stop respecting privacy they go under. If they start storing data they legally have to hand it over when being asked by law enforcement, which would expose that they stored it.

Not necessarily.

This is blind trust, you are relying spotting wrong doing after it happens, at which point you would already be compromised.


Is there any other way?


But we've been shown that storing data is only part of it; if you continue to use the service law enforcement can force them to log you.
