zomgcatsonfire posted:But to me it makes no sense to host outside of the country you are living in. Yes, logically as the the Internet grows within different countries they should become more autonomous in different areas. Legally speaking I don't believe non-US citizens have any privacy rights really. Practically speaking I don't believe US citizens really have them either. The technical apparatus is moving a lot faster than any lawmakers know. Things are being done that US citizens aren't close to privy to. It goes way, way beyond text e-mails. Without even getting into legalese I'd have no expectation of sending an e-mail to someone else and hoping it remained private. No matter what country I was in, no matter where it was hosted, no matter the recipient. There were a few companies that provided legitimate e-mail encryption.
