Update: [Can I run Co-op Cloud on ARM?](/operators/handbook/#can-i-run-co-op-cloud-on-arm)
## Why would an activist group use coop cloud infrastructure over private cloud infrastructure (e.g. AWS, Azure, GCP)?

If your group is powerful enough to have generated opposition, it's not implausible that some law enforcement body may be trying to stymie your group's advances. To do this, law enforcement bodies may and probably will collaborate with big tech. Indeed, big tech has consistently shown a quick willingness to cooperate with Law Enforcement agencies (a la Snowden-revealed NSA subpoenas, [disallowing Signal to domain front](https://techcrunch.com/2018/05/02/signal-could-get-kicked-out-of-amazon-web-services/) and other such incidents where [big tech aided governments in hunting activists](http://discourse.leagueofconcernedusers.org/t/activist-infrastructures/69?u=themoonisblue)).

If your group has ambitions that generate enough fury in your opposition, you should think twice about where you store your data and whose services you rely on to store your data.

By using Co-op Cloud infrastructure over private cloud infrastructure, you create a few possibilities:
- You may interact with a server provider that is more ethical than Big Tech. Although the server provider may still succumb to law enforcement, you might place more trust in some providers than in private cloud providers (e.g. AWS).
- You may be able to situate your servers in locations that are relatively more impervious to law enforcement attempts to dismantle your infrastructure. Indeed, if you deployed your infrastructure in a relatively secure setting such as Switzerland, then you would weather a greater chance of keeping your infrastructure alive than if you deployed it in, say, the United States. Protonmail and [Extinction Rebellion (XR)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_O3zj3p52A) choose Switzerland for their servers, for reasons along these lines.
