what other status quo do you expect from them? Having to provide IP logs after a warrant has been issued is the law in switserland (and most if not all of the EU).

Sure, the law would (hopefully) be changed, but at the moment, this is the best they can legally do?

Tell users you are being logged on website.

Put alert warning that account has logging enabled

Change the service so collecting logs is not possible

Stop adding captcha to tor users login because you want to identify users

Frequently not legal

>Put alert warning that account has logging enabled

See above. Gag orders a problem with government in general. They do have a warrant canary page though, as well as a transparency report.

>Change the service so collecting logs is not possible

You mean stop serving HTTP and MX requests?

>Stop adding captcha to tor users login because you want to identify users

You mean let bots brute-force my password?
