UK sovereign data? Land of arrests for posts on social media? Member of five eyes, "you spy on our citizens and we'll spy on yours and call it intelligence sharing"? Land of the infamous Online Safety act? That UK? Why would anyone want their data in the UK?

Having data processed in the UK is not for privacy reasons, but legal reasons when working in Govt. fields such as legal/healthcare/security. For privacy most companies choose juristications with better privacy laws such as switzerland.

Because they reside in the UK? Why would anyone outside the US want their data in the US, the organiser and leader of the Five Eyes?

There is a long list of countries other than the US and the UK. I will go to bat for the US on this one though and say that one might want their data in the US because of the first amendment. Even for people that reside in the UK, what is the selling point of having data with them in the same country?

For all its flaws and limitations in practice, you have far greater data privacy in the UK than the US. Largely because it seems you basically have none as a private citizen in the US.

First amendment has nothing to do with it.

Does the first amendment guarantee privacy?

Did you know people live in the UK?

Just to pick on one thing, do you think incitement to murder people by setting fire to hotels, acts that subsequently happened, should just be shrugged at?

What I think about the particular case you're talking about is irrelevant. I guess we'll see if allowing the government to police speech is still such a great idea when Reform and all future governments are in power.
