Gary has every right to object if Indiana says he can only sell chainsaws made in Indiana, as that would be an absurd law.

Forcing me to run servers in France is absurd.

If anything, it increases the attack surface and makes it more likely that private data is exposed.

He has the right to object in any case. That's free speech. But despite all his objections, he either does his business respecting the law or doesn't do business at all.

It's funny that you think that such a law would be absurd, when laws that require a store to sell locally-produced goods over imported ones also already exist in the real world.

>Forcing me to run servers in France is absurd.

You're welcome to think that. Don't run servers in France then.
