Do you think it would be difficult to allow the different HN servers to federate their content across regions?

Would it be impossible? No. But would it be, say, 5x the amount of effort to build and maintain a federated system with no data stored across boundaries? Probably.

In what way is a French resident protected if their data is stored on a server in France but can be federated to other countries?

Difficult? Not so much. Demanding a yet another great firewall on the other hand sounds absolutely atrocious to me.
