Web Hosting For Privacy Activists?

Posted by kdawson on from the haven-in-a-data-storm dept.

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."

    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?

    I don't want a server hosted under US jurisdiction. ...as of lately, nearly the entire planet is under US jurisdiction.
