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."

What's wrong with geocities? :p

here's what I do

I host my website from a mini server taped to the back of the toilet in a local coffee shop with free wifi. I change the battery twice a month.

I hope your server doesn't try to "signal" the server in the next stall ....

Why not? Can't servers one day dream of being a senator, too?

My bet on the premier hosting location will be Antarctica. Think of the HVAC bills a server farm would save. Plus its neutral territory.

go after terrorist organizations, child pornographers, etc.

if you are hosting such things, you deserve to be hunted down

but with your jibe at "libertarian" one assumes you are the usual privacy absolutist who simply doesn't understand the government has no interest in you. it inflates your ego to think anyone in society or the government actually feels threatened by you

it is of course evil for governments to oppress people just for speaking their minds

luckily for you, unless you are in iran or china, no one is going to do that

people actually do evil things in this world, and governments actually go after them for that. and that's a good thing

Right on!! I am all in favor of the government doing everything they can to hunt down and kill terrorists, child molesters, and people who type in all lower-case and consider periods optional.
