      Not in the technical sense. I mean you can choose if your data packets traverse the Atlantic, but I don’t think that’s noticeable in a messenger. It changes the legislation, though. Since you mentioned security and privacy as goals… There are laws server admins have to abide to. And these laws vary greatly amongst countries. For example the whole EU has stricter privacy laws than most of the US. And there are things like lawful interception, the intelligence apparatus and general surveillance. I’d keep that in my mind when looking for the most secure server.
