Maybe google is planning this with their secret barge buildings? Float them offshore and become sovereign on their own? This way they wouldn't have to comply with government requests to turn over data and use the possibility to evade taxes as well?
Seems a little far fetched but you never know.
- wavefunction 13y agoIt was incredibly far-fetched until you mentioned dodging taxes... That is apparently the only government action that will stir these tech behemoths to action.
- winslow 13y agoI agree, evade taxes and maybe user data not getting into the hands of NSA/US Gov't via court request would be a byproduct. Obviously the NSA would just try exploiting their floating data centers.
