@kallisti @silhouette @malwaretech I mean you could just use an ol' boring ship if you want to have a lot of computers in international waters. The hardest part would be to transfer energy and data, but cooling would be easy af.

@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.

@kallisti @silhouette @malwaretech Hmm.. If my data is adrift (not clearly in transit) do I have to pay salvage to whoever recovers it (before the pirates, state sponsored or not, get it)? The right of free passage is one thing. The right to just bob about in the ocean as though it's some sort of "the floor is lava" defence is not so well established. In fact it's established that a vessel is subject to the laws of the country who's flag it flies. Hence flags of convenience and all that but it's not "stateless".
