## Why United States

New York gives 1 ms local latency and 71 ms to London on DE-CIX New York and NYIIX. It is the least protective address we operate: Five Eyes leadership, CLOUD Act disclosure duties reaching data stored anywhere, FISA § 702 collection, and the DMCA applying directly rather than as a foreign notice. Choose it for proximity to US users and nothing else.

**Trade-off:** Every reason our other pages exist. The United States leads Five Eyes, the CLOUD Act compels disclosure of data wherever it is physically stored, FISA § 702 permits collection from US providers without individual warrants, and the DMCA applies here with full force rather than as a letter you can ignore. New York is on the map because 1 ms to Manhattan and 71 ms to London is what some workloads need. If your threat model includes a copyright claimant, this is the one address on our network where they win by default.

| Copyright takedown regime applies directly, with safe harbour for compliant hosts | Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512 | 1998 |

### Why choose United States for this?

New York provides 1 ms to local clients and 71 ms to London via DE-CIX New York and NYIIX.

Choose it for north american latency, US-facing SaaS, or GPU inference near US users, but expect no legal shelter.

### What is the catch with United States?
