Well we saw that having the servers in the US are no protection against election manipulation if you do it cleverly
Most will even now say that it did not happen because "what should not happen cannot happen (and "has not happened" lol).
It is true that most of international Severs are located in the US, and it is of course true that just of all Windows 10 breaks all previous agreed standards and reluctance when it come to transferring data to the US/NSA/younameit.
I do not like it either, but if the world/international citizen wants to change this, we'd need an international free independent organisation that provides that kind of independent anonymous internet.
If i look at what happens worldwide with the turning back to nationalism and China leading the whole crap i do not see this coming.
