This is a drupal question asked by libre fan on 11 May 2007

After the presidential election in France I’m considering migrating two websites to a foreign country where they don’t spy on you in such detail as they intend to do in France very soon.

To top it all the new French president (not yet in charge, gives us a break ) favours software patents & M$, and we’ll see if he moves Ubuntu out of the first chamber of Parliament (députés). where it is planned to be installed in June for every member and their assistants.

The two web sites bear on free software, Linux and all things pubilshed under a free licence. No piracy, nothing illegal.

What I resent is the coming decree that says an ISP or a web hoster must keep all data for three years, including bank car number and all revisions of the content of your web site. For instance, if you write one day “hello” and the next day you edit it to “good night”, the two versions will be kept for three years.

It’s crazy and may no really be possible at all but I’d like to find another country for these two websites, and others to come.

Does anyone know of a country where the web is still a relatively free space for Linux fans and freedom lovers?

I thought of Quebec (found some free hosting there without ads and some ethics), Spain, ireland? Anyone from there who knows about digital laws there? Any other counry?

I can speak French and English and I’ve started learning Esperanto.
