I guess it's just the risk we take.
Western (NATO) governments share data they collect through compromised VPNs and from big tech corporations and viruses. Everyone is spying on you if the service is in a country that cooperates with the 5 Eyes countries. This includes Japan, South Korea, Singapore and Israel, not just the US and EU. Using any "free" VPN from these countries, and I'd bet even the paid ones, guarantees you can be found if someone decides to go after you legally. Like if you posted Taylor Swift nudes, they might go after you. If you posted some random camwhore or thot... very unlikely anyone gives a shit.
