Because of particularly GDPR's 'Right to be forgotten' -- Yes. Seems like becoming a Russian or Chinese state asset or finding a niche in some country completely overlooked are his only realistic options here.
ok so what country is the best for running this forum? also he made his bed fucking off from the US a long time ago. i guaranttee you some stupid kiwi is in charge of some hr dept. and could have gotten some shitty job making way more than he was getting being an e-celeb.

Keep in mind that Josh doesn't want to learn or can't learn foreign languages, and in the hypothetical case he decides to move to Bolivia he'd have to live like an hermit, I don't think there are lots of Bolivians fluent in English, but so happens to be the case in Serbia, so oh well what the fuck do I know.
Also, in case something happens with his offshore server, like for example, it goes down for a whole weekend, chances are Bolivia doesn't have the best internet, they don't have roads for the most part.
On the upside: They don't have Serbian Soda there, but they have Manaos!
He would be thrown in jail and/or deported if he allowed something in the vein of the Christ Church shooting streams to stay up, if he ever moved there in the future.
Neo-Nazi's posting shit on his forum would make him a target unless he has VERY deep pockets or becomes a Russian intelligence asset. Russia's 2004 hate speech law is probably harsher than UK's hate speech law in regards to promotion of Nazism - I'm not calling Josh a Neo-nazi, but it takes a few speds to post /pol/ stuff and get Josh wrangled in some shit.
It's going to be fun seeing Null get GPDR fines for not taking down requested posts of lolcows, because technically the lolcow owns the property of the post in the EU.
What of places like the Netherlands, Finland or Poland though? I always knew about EU law and places with that really are worst-guy-you-know-has-a-point, it still vexes me that he's looking for someplace to fuck off to. Server host kicking him out?
It goes without saying that even with some tweaks to Section 230, America still has the most generous hosting laws. I really don't know what has him so scared but it really shoulden't be this
If Josh can reign in the posters not to post about indigineous South Americans/mestizo people, find a trustworthy datacenter that won't just physically steal the server and actually maintain it - he might find a good place to host. The only issue is that Latin American and specifically Bolivia's internet infrastructure is pretty awful with traffic that originates and travels out of Bolivia. The underwater cable infrastucture to/from Latin America isn't as developed and fast as the European/American cable infrastructure by a long shot. The ping and download speed would easily take way too long to ever be practical, especially for a big website like Kiwifarms. If Josh was hosting a basic website that was mostly text, it wouldn't be an issue, but Josh wants kiwifarms to be a multimedia repertory.
Here's an article about the newly installed fiber lines:
The country has until now relied on leasing international connectivity from wholesale data carriers in Chile and Peru.
www.bnamericas.com
According to latest data from the telecom department, leased internet capacity (contracted on the Bolivian border by local suppliers) grew from 234.93Gbps to 275.24Gbps from December 2017 to September 2018.
In the same timespan, costs per Mbps fell 8.85%, to US$21.83.
Average prices of more than 40 products and services in Bolivia. Prices of restaurants, food, transportation, utilities and housing are included.
www.numbeo.com
Average monthly salary after taxes: 3611 Bolivian Boliviano - About $520 bucks
Average monthly cable internet cost: 428 Bolivian Boliviano - About $60 bucks
Yea, bandwidth would be way more expensive in Bolivia and the service would be shittier to almost the whole userbase besides those in South America.

Poland has extreme anti-nazism laws and is part of the EU, so add on GDPR as well. Kiwifarms pre-trump/pol/wignats could possibly be hosted, but this current iteration would have Josh sent to prison for Nazi propaganda. Josh is not one, but a wignat @SIGSEGV would have the authorities visiting Josh's door to take him to court.
Finland has extreme anti-nazism laws as well and is part of the EU, so add on GDPR as well. Finland is becoming very pro-lgbt and has cracked down heavily on anything dealing with the far-right over the years.
Netherlands isn't as extreme in anti-nazism laws(they still will prosecute far-right beliefs though) and is part of the EU, so add on GDPR as well. Netherlands though does have laws about defamation of groups and inciting violence even to inanimate objects(I'm serious. So you can't say "in minecraft" like you can in the states. )
Are refugee activists getting punished for incendiary rhetoric more than right-wingers are?
newrepublic.com
Article 131 of the Dutch Criminal code prohibits incitement of violence; Article 137c restricts group defamation and Article 137d incitement to hatred or discrimination. Statements that are seen to be inciting violence, even against an inanimate object, are illegal.

Estonia is the best bet for internet infrastructure and no "hate speech laws" yet, but the EU will still fuck with Null due to kiwifarms being kiwifarms, and GDPR + other eu regulations/laws. It also doesn't help that he's not even a native citizen with connections and/or rich, because they will deport his ass if kiwifarms brings too much heat. He would also have to get a visa during covid which is pretty hard unless he shacks up with a citizen of one of the EU countries.
He could try being a "Digital Nomad", but if we take his word for financial problems, I don't think he makes ~3500 euros documented a month through his web-host company and kiwifarms to get the visa.

That's actually something that he should keep in mind about extradition - remember that he's still a felon in NZ, ("Your faggot laws") and this would mean dick fuck all... except NZ is part of the five-eyes intelligence alliance.
I doubt he's going to get extradited but it does mean he should watch his ass and not make too much noise

I would not be surprised if the host has notified him that they are considering removing KF from their services.
He seems to of posted this rather hurried too and Five Eyes is a problem, Ireland especially. GDPR will fuck him in Europe but one thing he has not thought about is the cost of living. The Netherland for example extremely high IF you are working. $3500 is only 2862 euros and average rent in the Netherlands is 1200.
He is better off shutting shop but his pride will not let him. Even then he has to contend with NZ wanting to talk to him.
Josh is a high school dropout, has no qualifications, has no plans on actually integrating. Without any of these it is extremely hard to actually get permanent residence in Norway (I am guessing the same goes for Finland and the Netherlands, although I am not sure). Cost of living here is one of the highest in the world not to mention taxes are pretty fucking high, good luck paying for your living expenses with the gibs from true and honest fans. Also he will probably kill himself when he realizes that it is dark here 6 months of the year. I kinda want to see him move here because he will fucking hate it.
The only way he will get to stay here is if he finds a girl to marry, but unlucky for him Norwegian girls are not trad wives, will expect him to contribute in the household and will likely earn more than him.
