Some snark:
If you are concerned about your/others Bluesky posts being stored in the US, may I suggest finding a different hobby?
-
Whatever my distaste for how Bluesky orders and organizes their data, for their use case and their implementation it _doesn't matter_ that it is stored in the US and will provide better performance for what they are going for.
There's a time a place and scenario under which storing data in the US is a problem, but you're going to need to explain exactly what your threat model is that leads you to think that friggin BlueSky being stored in the US is a problem.
-
"They will of course comply with law enforcement."
To turn over your public data?
Law enforcement can even form their own appviews, to whatever degree it would be given, why would they even need BlueSky's cooperation?
It'd be one thing if BlueSky was a natural hotbed for organizing and contained a lot of access logs and private data or somesuch, but that's not what it is or even can be.
If you are worried about censorship, may I also suggest that being hosted in the US is the least of it.

@hrefna Not going to lie, I've been reading Shoshana Zuboff's The Age of Surveillance Capitalism, and a fun new side effect is that, among other things, I am actually concerned about data localization.

@gersande Which is fine and a good thing to care about! It's just that your public posts that can be publicly scanned and publicly indexed on a public service that has no way to send private messages or store private data is not where I'd focus that attention.

Yeah really. What about “all-public network” are people failing to understand?
-
You had a mastodon server with somewhere around 30k members and gods know how many connections have their entire prod data base copied, unencrypted, by the FBI as part of a raid because of bad data handling practices
Which they then did nothing to remediate and didn't even tell anyone for months.
Yet you want to sit here and be concerned about _BlueSky_ cooperating with law enforcement to turn over your purely public posts that they will tell you up front can only be purely public?
Seriously?

@jdp23 I get that people are scared, but I'd prefer that "scared" resulted in "threat modeling" and/or "self reflection" and not "being reactive about conscious and publicized design choices on other platforms."
