    Why don't people ever realize that the more Liberal a government is, the more control they will demand from our lives.

      They sell "give us more power, we'll protect you" well

    Problem is, where do you take a company like this if you want peace of mind that the new host country won't immediately try to pass a similar law?

      How has no one mentioned the Sealand micro nation off the UK?

      How does Mullvad do it? They also have Canadian servers.

      The real use case for satellite-borne data centers.

        I fail to see how a satellite data center would fix this unless the company was entirely off planet

          Hell, the whole company could be located on that satellite if it transacts in crypto-currency.

            Despite the hype, crypto is traceable. It is harder than other currencies and one transaction is probably untraceable. However if you are running a business you are going to get repeated payments from customers and repeatedly pay your employees and suppliers, which in turn creates enough data that they can track you down.

              Mullvad accepts Monero (XMR), the most private and untraceable coin available today. Your point is correct for all others though.

      Switzerland? Although they’re attempting to close in on this there too.

        Didn't proton end up moving to Germany because of bad Swiss privacy laws?
