I totally agree with you that it should be considered good practice to host one's data outside one own country, so that we're preserved for any deviant paranoia government may happen to have (and other government would probably care less of individual data if you're not from their country). All countries are not equals, though. China and US are known to have no regard for privacy, and are prone to violent actions - so I'd rather chose an other country. Of course, we can't expect any country to behave good, simply because we have no mean to know it. But we can expect countries with no aggressive reputation and with low budget to be less dangerous.
