An important question to me: can we extend this principle to other services?
In particular, mirroring public-facing web pages such as a diaspora/gnu
social page so that it is never offline but never hosted insecurely? This
may require the user action to establish a web of trust - eg this is my best
mate, he can host even my sensitive social networking content, this other
person is a work colleague and cannot.
