Web Hosting For Privacy Activists?

BritishColumbian writes "I'm thinking about setting up a Web site driven by user submissions. I was wondering which locations have the most liberal (i.e., libertarian) privacy laws. There are some great hosts in the US, however there have been so many FBI requests for user data that I don't want a server hosted under US jurisdiction. Does anyone have any thoughts/suggestions as to a suitable jurisdiction? It doesn't look like Sealand's HavenCo is guaranteed to be privacy-friendly any more."

    Tor has the added benefit that since you don't know who's running your entry and exit nodes, you can easily be compromised by a nice MITM attack and have your blog taken over with ease.

    Good thinking, 3427! You should totally start your own blog, and call it "Horrible Fucking Advice with Yours Truly".

    I'd suggest that if you want privacy, you might want to stay away from publishing mediums like signs, books, audio recordings, movies and websites.

    You might want to try meeting in dark alleys and speaking to each other in hushed voices with your hand over your mouth to prevent lip reading.

    Or you could just shut the fuck up, then none of us will know what you're thinking. That would be your best bet.
