(both in German).


And yet, Germany currently isn't even allowed to issue European Arrest Warrents, because our public prosecutors are not sufficiently independent from government influence.

Just want to clarify that German courts are allowed to issue European arrest warrants, just the prosecutors are not allowed to



Out of interest where would you suggest?


I'm not sure, but I guess a relatively developed country without a big nosy state would do (or one that doesn't care about the Internet/speech censorship/spying on people). Other obvious places where you don't want to have your servers: Australia, USA, UK, Russia(duh), Turkey.

Case study: Vincent Canfield, of the half-joke email provider cock.li, moved his servers to Romania after them getting seized by German prosecutors.
