Naive democracy is what enables uneducated voters to elect extreme right- or left-wing parties, which can quickly turn into dictatorships. The right to vote should be granted as a merit-based privilege rather than an automatic entitlement. But I digress... To answer your question, each country has its own laws and regulations— some good, some bad. If you deploy your services across the US, UK, and EU, this can help reduce disruptions. And yes at this time, I trust the UK and EU more than the U.S. Historically, Western countries shared common cultural and political values, which helped maintain stability and support free trade. Today, there is a major rupture, with the U.S. increasingly misaligned on key principles. This could represent a lasting shift. I wouldn’t want to host internet services in Russian or North Korean data centers, and over time the U.S. may need to be added to that list. At this stage, I’m just trying to assess the risks.
