PIA of the canary guarantee?

msdaniel924 · June 2018

So today I went to the main webpage as I've done for years, but something stood out this time. Take a look. Do you see the large profile of a face hiding in the trees? Is this a way for PIA to say they're being pressured to provide surveillance? I know it's not a warrant canary per se, but it does give one ponder. Link below

Are you talking about the face that looks like Achmed the Dead Terrorist? The one above the helmet of the center girl? The face that looks like a skeleton? That face that is not really there except in your minds eye? Nope, I don't see it.

This "face" has been spotted before but I assure you that if someone one some entity was forcing us to start surveilling our users we would cease to do business with them or in that region. This has been demonstrated when Russia tried forcing us to keep logs for Russian VPN users we removed our servers from the region and ceased operations. Then when Korea demanded the same from us they got the same treatment.

While the Russia announcement was so long ago that it was removed from our pinned links here is the announcement about Korea https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/forum/discussion/29549/we-are-removing-our-south-korea-presence#latest
