The tribes have a history of being more pragmatic about buildings that would be considered distasteful elsewhere. Smart to at least explore this option, and if deals can be made then it seems like a fine outcome.
Talk about "data sovereignty"--imagine if people begin finding out that their data "lives" on servers under jurisdiction of some tribal authority, instead of/alongside the United States!
Sovereign Indian tribles can practically get away with murder compared to entities that are regulated by ordinary US law. I was recently the victim of some kind of tribal predatory loan service that was way off in Northern California. I looked into it, and determined that there was basically nothing I could do to pursue it legally. It is unclear whether a "tribal loan account" could be legally pursued by ordinary US collection agencies, but it's rather crazy to imagine that kind of activity that targets ordinary Americans.
They are going after everything, everywhere because their leadership is sociopathic and believes the means are justified by anything they can get away with.
Mark had that aha moment that people would just freely give him their data, and had no idea how it could be used against them. He built his entire empire on being able to get away with things that if anyone actually looks at is morally reprehensible, extractive and manipulative. Now the promise of AI is they will control and rule over the productivity and power structure of the whole world via the internet if they can get away with it.
I have always wondered why tribal lands are not being used for bulletproof hosting, banking institutions without KYC and similar grey area business which can make a lot of money.
