Has Mullvad ever been given a court order to reveal personal info about a user? (lemmy.ml)

I've been reading through Signal's government requests and couldn't find a similar section on Mullvad's website. I'd be curious to read about them if there are any. It would seem unlikely to me that Mullvad has never received any kind of court order for information about a user.

They realized banning convenience is bad for business. You can still pay in private ways

When they announced it, they said it would be bad for business, but that they valued their customers privacy more than the cost it would cause in lost business.
