Cloud-computing thread: “Follow the law” computing
There’s a very interesting discussion thread happening in the cloud-computing group on “Follow the law” computing.. James Urquhart first started the discussion asking

A lively discussion followed and there are opinions from both sides. Reuven Cohen also wrote a piece on The Geopolitical Cloud a while back. Definitely follow the thread and read more.
