That makes it easier for a court in the US to give your data to a friendly company than if your server were in say China. You don't need to go that far, just being in a different country will make you too much effort to purse for chump change, only worth if you're doing more than breaking copyright law.
VPNs
They're commies, they'll rat you out without the government asking. You're safer emailing the NSA a daily report on what you're doing.
Express VPN if you actually give a shit about speeds and privacy, if you have $90 that is
All countries monitor internet traffic that goes in and out of the country.
They justify it by saying that it's not domestic spying but your traffic leaves that country for almost anything you do.
Traffic inside countries is generally not supposed to be monitored but i doubt any country follows that law.
I don't believe that TOR works at all for privacy or VPN for that matter. Not against the government at least.
I don't care that a tranny is a part of TOR project nor do i care that they take a moral stand against "racists".
But one must ask themselves why would they allow tor on the google play store.
Airvpn.org
They have an annual sale going on right now.
If you were a drug dealer or CP trader or someone who does something illegal, you should use Tor or a VPN company that is in another country.
If you lived in US and used a VPN company that is in US, you would be caught by FBI.
