    The datacenter may be out of the reach of terrestrial law enforcement, but the company directors won’t be.

      Fair point, but assuming they manage to get orbital weapons up there, is any government willing to drone strike some replaceable executives if the threat of a nuke looms overhead? Even if they can’t hit terrestrial targets for now, shooting down rivaling satellites and other comms infrastructure (or even shuttles?) seems a pretty powerful deterrent to most developed countries because they are so dependent on it.
