@kallisti @silhouette @malwaretech LOL. Datacenters on the ocean floor seems wildly impractical, but still far more realistic than datacenters in space. As far as legalities go, unless the datacenter's owners are also on the ocean floor, they'll have to comply with their country's law enforcement regardless of where the data resides.

    @bruce @kallisti @silhouette @malwaretech Microsoft did a prototype, to a reasonable degree of success: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Natick Neatest result: The failure rate of a data center entombed below several tons of water is actually lower than that of a regular data center, because there aren't any humans in there that could pull out the wrong drive by accident.
