Storing data encryped in north korea, with the capability to fetch and decrypt that data in Sweden, is approximately equivalent to storing the unencrypted data in Sweden Not if there is rate limiting, or other means of preventing the entire set of data being dumped. That is to say, storing it encrypted makes it harder to get the full set of data. Though, I guess in practice the client application would likely be able to request all of the data from storage.
