I guess we all kinda knew that, but it's always nice to have a study backing your opinions.

If privacy is your goal, Mullvad is the answer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mullvad

They have been targeted by law enforcement and haven't given anything because they don't have anything to give.

Mullvad does not log VPN users': IP addresses, the VPN IP address used, browsing activity, bandwidth, connections, session duration, timestamps, and DNS requests

They don't even have user accounts, you just have an account number and you can buy more credits even by mailing cash to them if you're really gung-ho about being private. I usually just use my excess Bitcoin to top up when I need to use it (they give a 10% discount for blockchain purchases)

But if you need to get past geolocking or have huge download speeds for pirating, then they're not what you're looking for. I use Mullvad on my mobile router so every time I log in at a hotel or similar, all of my devices are behind VPN automatically
