> Netflow data can be used to track network activity traffic through VPNs

Does this mean so called non-logging VPNs are handing over data? That seems unlikely depending on the provider. Mullvad seems pretty solid and seems like they don't sell 'Netflow' data. But I could be wrong?

not sure why the NSA would need warrants or logs from any company though... don't they have wiretaps installed all over the world including on the ocean floors?
