Why is D.O. so against Tor?
Now I have lost three servers to bogus DMCA takedown requests simply for running a passive Tor relay. Are D.O.'s staff so anti-privacy and anti-anonymity that they choose to do this? Makes me wonder how "secure" the servers are in their data centers.

Will DigitalOcean follow Twitters example in protecting EU customers?
Twitter setup a new independant branch located in Ireland so the NSA can't threaten them in court to reveal EU customer data. I think I may reopen my twitter account again :) *If you live outside the United States, our services are now provided to you by Twitter International Company, our company based in Dublin, Ireland. Twitter International Company will be responsible for handling your account information under Irish privacy and data protection law, which is based on the European Union’s Data Protection Directive.* Regarding the high sensitivity of running private mail servers and such on DO droplets, I ask myself if DO is considering (now or in the near future) a separate branch to protect it's EU customers. Of course there won't be any internal discussion based on "because we care" but there is a thing called "because it pays" - which board members usually agree with. As an example - right now I can't offer DO products to my german business clients because DO is a US company. Therefore I have to select the more expensive EU cloud providers - who profit heavily from everybodies fear of the NSA.

How to get permission for security scans?
I have a service provider that is preparing to perform an automated security scan of my application hosted on Digital Ocean. They're claiming they also need permission from Digital Ocean to do the complete scan since they'll be testing for vulnerabilities that aren't directly related to my application but OS level things as well. Is such permission required? If so, what is proper way to request it?
