Panama as a privacy jurisdiction?

The only service that comes to mind for me is NordVPN, which is based in Panama.

Is Panama the big brain move? If so, why aren't more privacy services doing this?

What kind of privacy laws are good in Panama? Any that aren't? Does it have a history of bowing to Five Eyes requests?

Panama is fully in the pocket of Corporate America. Think Panama Papers.

So if you’re rich, it’s pretty private until someone hacks the firm you’re using. If you aren’t as rich as people who wish you ill, it offers no protection.
Thats why nordvpn is so cheap and its not rated in the top 5 VPNs by privacy sites even tho on paper it looks good
- I've been using ProtonVPN in Switzerland. Also their zero-knowledge email. They are building zero-knowledge cloud.
  
  Pretty sure they log your IP
