This is nice. But I think that the long term solution needs to be based on something that does not depend on the ability of your host to protect your data. The US is strong enough to pressure (almost?) any country to jump through hoops for them (we have seen leaks about their pressure on Sweden [1] or Spain) so just being out of their jurisdiction is not enough.

I agree 100%. Your country or company isn't going to make a difference when the people maintaining it are threatened or bribed by a force that can and does leverage power outside their jurisdiction. Honestly, the problem has to be addressed at the source, not with bandaids applied by the hopeful or naive.
