I remember the Sealand data centre / data haven from the early 00s as an idealistic college student. I loved the idea of a web hosting service free from Government control and oversight (not realising that the real risk was from private companies!)
Given the current state of the internet and censorship by private companies, do you think there is room for something similar today? Would it even be possible or are data havens ultimately limited by the policies and whims of their upstream suppliers?
