What else would I care for? We're talking about piracy, so I wouldn't turn the choice of a server location into a human rights debate.

[-] hydroptic@sopuli.xyz 5 points 7 months ago

You can definitely care about whatever you want. Human rights aren't the only potential issue though, but there's things like eg. do you trust that you'll be able to retain control of the site. So for example if you set it up in Russia and you're not Russian, do you trust the Russian government not to pull the rug out from under your feet at some point?

[-] viking@infosec.pub 7 points 7 months ago

Well they might, even if I you were Russian. But that's what off-site backups are there for. It's less likely for them to pull control than it is for a Western platform though, so still a win vs. Github.

What kind of logic is that? It is perfectly reasonable to care about human rights and totalitarianism but not for copyrights. In fact it seems a bit questionable that you would use the speeding ticket of online rule violations as an excuse to completely discard any other moral considerations.

Ultimately it's your choice of course, but still. Questionable reasoning

(I am not the person you replied to)

The problem with this argument is that you are ruling out entire countries for the acts of corrupt governments. Thing is there is no such thing as a clean government. Everybody has skeletons in their closet.
