afaik (and I'm no lawyer nor have a legal background) companies operating/hosting physical servers somewhere are subject to local laws and regulations, so yes.
In my view that's why a "no logging" policy followed by a third party auditing matters, but in the end the local regulations can still force companies to keep certain records to be allowed to operate there. Because of this I wouldn't pick countries with a poor track of freedom of speech or high censorship as exit if available.
Sounds like tor with extra steps.
What about it?
PIA removed their Russian servers for this very reason.
