If you're doing something illegal in your own country, that seems like a good idea. If you're not, that would seem to achieve nothing other than making it much more difficult to enforce any action against the VPN provider for selling your private data.

If my VPN provider trades user data, the service will quickly deteriorate and it won't be a VPN provider for long. But even if that is the case it wouldn't be my primary concern.

I don't even live in a country were I have to fear much at all from malicious authorities, but they wouldn't even blink before trading privacy for perceived security.

I might change my opinion if there were actual consequences for sharing user data. I believe it when I see it.

Otherwise I just like privacy, information is power and I don't like to share with the state.

In the US at least, there still remain a few tatters of laws that control how law enforcement and intelligence agencies can surveil you.

But there are zero controls on US agencies hoovering up data indiscriminately outside US borders.
