Taxes are not involved in the question. When it comes to US cases, FB only has to follow US laws. Therefore, data generated by US-based users should not be retained.

1) I would pay for private pages. 2) Of the 8 trending/new items, only 2 are linked. 3) On @knobreak, there are 20 photos, but the top says 166. 4) What will you do when @childporn begins to trend? 5) You don't have a TOS, which is awesome,

If the data contained on your servers is bothersome enough to the US, then their military will simply bomb your tiny state out of existence, which is made even simpler if there is no one around to stand up for you. I've had this idea, both

It's not only for phonebook data. Telnic, the company which manages DotTEL, uses [1] as their main example. For more examples, see "DotTEL of the Week" [2]. By "decoupling", I mean to get away from the mindset that your domain goes directly

Correct. However, if you always redirect to somewhere else, and that somewhere else has an identity which really stands out, then people will get used to that destination. So, when the government takes away your DotCOM, your existing audien

DotTEL is nice because all of your information is stored in DNS, and so the webpage itself is created dynamically from DNS. Also, it can't go down due to a DOS attack. Well, actually, it can, but then all DotTELs would be down, and so the b

DotSE is not at all trustworthy. Use DotTEL. Host nothing at MC.com, but rather have it redirect to MC.tel, and populate MC.tel with a link to the main page of your content, as well as links to mirrors of that content. http://en.wikipedia.
