If I were to live in the US, I would know when my server went missing. With Google or other cloud-providers they can do it behind your back.

And then can't seize it. It's physically secure. It may not be bullet-proof security-wise (what is?) but they can't rubber-stamp their way into it.
And for some people that's quite an important aspect.
- dijit 11y agoAmen, this whole "if it's not 100% secure why bother" argument is annoying, we can still make it hard for them. We can, and we definitely should.

- dijit 11y agowhat does? housing mail outside the US? outside of their partner companies or previously breached companies (in the case of google). I mean, if you have a remote server- it's lawful for them to snoop (by their own law), but it certainly makes it harder, to gain access and maintain access- as these systems may be wildly different and hosts will be varying degrees of paranoid.
