I'm surprised libertarian minded investors like Peter Thiel have not began a fund in some of these countries.
Even signaling such a move would give Google, Facebook, etc. strong argument to fight off NSA's broad requests and we all win!
- EthanHeilman 13y agoFunny thing Peter Thiel is a founder and key investor in Palantir which is doing big-data work for the NSA among other things: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palantir_Technologies#WikiLeaks_proposals http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palantir_Technologies#WikiLeaks... I'd really enjoy hearing Thiel's perspective on this whole issue given that he is a libertarian with a strong business relationship with the NSA and a strong business relationship with facebook.
