    Where should it be based then? I feel like you canā€™t trust any state to not do this sort of thing to fight ā€œterrorismā€ and ā€œcrimeā€

      I would say Switzerland.

      They have great privacy laws and a culture of secrecy from their banking history.

      They definitely would have an NSA equivalent but with far less reach I would think. They are a ā€œneutral countryā€ as I see it so they donā€™t need such a strong foreign spy agencyā€¦

      At the very least, the US would be one of worse choice possible for privacy thatā€™s for sure.

      Keep in mind that the spying done by the NSA was fully legal there. They had this whole framework of laws to justify and authorize it.

      I mean the NSA intercepting CISCO routers to bug them ?

      Thatā€™s a bold move that most countries couldnā€™t doā€¦
