I dont think "Europe" and european countries cant be thrown in one potatoe bag. When I read this "Some of the most brilliant and creative people in the world live and work in Silicon Valley." it reminds me, as I am French living in Geneva of the attitude of so called "developed" countries wanting to give good advice and impose their way of thinking to so called "underdeveloped countries" in the UN, WTO and ILO sphere, as these guys always go from the premises of their inherent superiority..
Actually in Geneva we have the highest proportion of Nobel prizes per square kilometers (or that is what people out here think). This statement clearly would upset some people who are not included in that brilliantly creative talent pool... It is actually the place where the www idea stems from...

Europe in general, and the UK in particular, has significantly weaker free speech guarantees than the US does. This manifests in quite a few ways, from "hate speech" to "right to be forgotten" to "superinjunctions" to prohibitions against publishing the name of certain people accused of criminal acts. Moving to Europe would oblige the WMF to follow these restrictions. How would that be avoided? If anything, Canada might be a better option in that regard, but still far from perfect. Also, I'd dispute that London is inherently more creative and vibrant than SV. Some of the most brilliant and creative people in the world live and work in Silicon Valley.
