Abandoned Warrant Canary. What is going on with Perfect Privacy?

[PL89 1]

I know it might seem a bit weird that a freshly joined member starts a discussion about a competitor. But I want to point out that I have no negative feelings for Perfect Privacy. I have been using them for a while. But there is something going on there that should concern us all.

Perfect Privacy is a Germany based VPN provider that has been around for a while. In the past, they have proven more than once that they don't keep any logs and they also had a good reputation with people doing not so nice things. It was a common thing that one third of their servers have been down. But recently, something changed. They stopped updating their Warrant Canary in April. They have a forum too, but their staff entirely ignores this Warrant Canary topic. They refuse to comment on this matter. People told them they will leave if they don't update it. Others suggested they should just remove it if they don't bother updating it.

Now if you think about it:
If your users complain and even stop using your service, what could be a logical reason not to update the Warrant Canary? How much time would it take to do this? 3 months have passed by. At times, half their servers are down. IKEV2 is not working anymore because of some certificate error. They know about it. They say they are working on it. Even thought roughly half their servers are down or broken, their bandwidth at times see roughly around 10% usage. Unfortunately their forums is mostly in Germany. They had users defending this service for years. But now everyone and really everyone turned against the service and yet they don't seem to care.

Can someone here come up with a reason why a service will suddenly stop updating the Warrant Canary and stop fixing things at the same time? For me, this sounds really bad.

Talking about Perfect Privacy, they compare to services like Mullvad, AirVPN and IVPN. They have a very good reputation around privacy minded people.

For me, this just sounds authorities prevent them from updating or removing it. I simply can not come up with any other explanation.

Maybe you can.
