Hi all,
Just in case you haven't seen my reply in the Rating, when this all kicked off a couple of weeks ago the Mods asked for confirmation on where the site is hosted and it was confirmed that it is not the US.
I am no internet genius or IT wiz so not saying more than what Admin says is that no data from this Forum is being held on servers physically in the US.
This doesn't mean that secondary searches on things like Google don't hold data after the search though these are only search researchs and not pure data and its source location - ie from which IP address the data was received on the Forum server. There are ways to mask your IP such as VPNs or use of other search engines as explained earlier in the thread.
From my industry, I know that the country hosting the servers does not have a good relationship with US data providers and the US government controls on them even given their geographical proximity. ie in the country hosting the Forum servers Government Depts including primary suppliers or industries which have governmental regulatory control (telecom, utilities etc) are not allowed to use (including their outsourced providers) things like AWS or Google Cloud the unless the physical servers are in their country with no redundancy fall back into US controlled servers.
You IT geeks can correct me if I am wrong but this was certainly the case no less than 18 months ago and I can't see it having changed.
Note this is not a definite statement, just answering agamemnon's question in ask much detail as I have.
