    Germany, since I’m a German citizen and know my local rights and laws better than anywhere else. Also easier to take legal action against the company if they they mess up.

    Any legal hoster will have to give up the data to local LEA, eventually. I would rather go for a hoster that has proven to use encryption and is legally fighting any order they receive.

      and is legally fighting any order they receive.

      I don’t think a provider should fight any order, especially if the chance of success is low or basically zero. It’s also very expensive. A provider that doesn’t have the data in the first place, is legally speaking better.

        Not every order providers recieve is rightfull or legal or even fullfill the requirements of the law, or the legal forms are just not filled out correctly by the officer or department.

        Fighting does not really mean, go to court, that would only really make sense for precedence, but more like “only do as much as you are required by law” and maybe “delay everything as much as you are allowed by law”.

        But an email provider will have to retain the data unlike VPN companies. Personal details, maybe but there are ways to never share them in the first place but the unencrypted emails are always at risk.

    Like geni wish. Because my own country with it treats email the way it treats physical mail most stringently.
