i have serious concerns about hosting in the US because US companies often remove content or lock out or terminate their users/customers for unpredictable reasons. in europe at least i can read up on what the law is, and expect that as long as my content is lawful, it will not be taken down.


Another comment mentioned that they took down wikiless without warning or explaination, and then the explaination that eventually came later was still not great (complaint from wikimedia). It doesn't sound like they are so much better on this point.


right, things are not perfect, and people make mistakes, but that doesn't contradict my claim because it should still be possible to object to the takedown and take measures to get the host to reinstate the content if the IP claim was wrong. in the US, in the same situation there might not be a recourse.
