Ask Slashdot: Best Country For Secure Online Hosting?
An anonymous reader writes: I've recently discovered that my hosting company is sending all login credentials unencrypted, prompting me to change providers. Additionally, I'm finally being forced to put some of my personal media library (songs, photos, etc.) on-line for ready access (though for my personal consumption only) from multiple devices and locations... But I simply can't bring myself to trust any cloud-service provider. So while it's been partially asked before, it hasn't yet been answered: Which country has the best on-line personal privacy laws that would made it patently illegal for any actor, state, or otherwise, to access my information? And does anyone have a recommendation on which provider(s) are the best hosts for (legal) on-line storage there?
The US Government has only just started re-normalization of relations with Cuba. They certainly don't have the bureaucratic relationships or procedures in place to get search warrants processed via INTERPOL or otherwise. Even the most trivial of requests will have to go through the state department making the prospect prohibitively expensive for anything but the most important of tasks.
