Moving to Singapore

Seems the foundation did a lot of research on economic factors and Singapore is definitely appealing in that regard. In fact, a lot of businesses would do well in Singapore. A blogging platform is not one of them.

Let me explain:

"Ghost was previously subject-to and protected-by UK laws, so what’s the deal when we go to Singapore? Remarkably little changes. As both a former British colony and a current member of the Commonwealth, the Singapore legal system is actually based on British Common Law. In fact, Singaporeans can actively vote in UK elections or run for UK office. They even drive on the left."

Singapore ranks 150th on press freedom [1], below Russia and Burma. The government owns the biggest media outlet and uses that power to control what is allowed to be broadcast or printed. You will become a blogging platform that cannot host blogs critical of the Singaporean government.

It seems to me that not enough research has been done on the premise of "where is it easiest for us to do business" rather than "where will our customers find the most freedom".

I would suggest, based on the freedom index rankings, to consider the Netherlands, New Zealand and Canada.

In fact the UK ranks very high on those 'doing business' reports (6th in the last report [2]). So maybe it's not the benchmark you want to use at all.
