Because they reside in the UK? Why would anyone outside the US want their data in the US, the organiser and leader of the Five Eyes?

There is a long list of countries other than the US and the UK. I will go to bat for the US on this one though and say that one might want their data in the US because of the first amendment. Even for people that reside in the UK, what is the selling point of having data with them in the same country?

For all its flaws and limitations in practice, you have far greater data privacy in the UK than the US. Largely because it seems you basically have none as a private citizen in the US.

First amendment has nothing to do with it.

Does the first amendment guarantee privacy?

If you can't be bothered to write it, why should anyone care to read it?

I just checked and you can cancel with a refund.

Everyone is taught at a young age how to do basic addition and multiplication. That's all check out requires. People are not taught at a young age how Rust lifetimes work or how to write human maintainable code.

I agree, as with everything in 2026, the reality lands somewhere in the middle of the discourse online. But pretending this is in practice anything like the check out example is wrong.
