Is the audio actually protected by MMI law?

MMI provides strong source protection within Iceland. We are not lawyers - consult Icelandic counsel for specific case analysis. Practically, audio stored in IS under our service falls within IS jurisdiction for any legal process.

Can I get end-to-end encryption with my own keys?

Yes, we support customer-managed encryption keys for the at-rest audio. We do not have the keys; we cannot decrypt for ourselves or anyone else.

What about subpoena or legal process?

We respond to legal process only after exhausting available challenges. Customer notified per our transparency policy unless gagged. Audio under customer-managed encryption is opaque to us regardless.

Will Iceland eventually get GPU?

Whisper Speech-to-Text Hosting via Iceland

Iceland's publisher-friendly legal posture extends naturally to journalism workflows including audio source material. For journalists transcribing source interviews, leak audio, whistleblower recordings, or anything else where the audio carries legal-protected source-material weight, hosting the audio and transcript storage in Iceland under Modern Media Initiative protection is meaningful. GPU compute runs stateless in Amsterdam.

Why Iceland for Audio Source Material

The Modern Media Initiative is a longstanding Icelandic legal project designed to attract journalism infrastructure. It includes strong source protection, anti-SLAPP provisions, and a deliberate posture against extraterritorial legal pressure.

For investigative journalists working with sensitive audio - interviews with whistleblowers, recordings of public officials, leak materials - the location of the audio file matters. Storing in Iceland under MMI protection is a defensible position.

GPU Routing

No 4090 stock in Iceland. Inference routes to NL 4090 via WireGuard. Audio bytes pass through GPU memory only, never stored on NL.

IS VPS: 4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 100GB NVMe, 1Gbps. Audio storage on encrypted LUKS volume.

Workflow

Journalist uploads audio to IS endpoint. Audio encrypted at rest. When ready to transcribe, audio chunks stream via WireGuard to NL Whisper service. NL processes in GPU memory, returns transcript text. Audio retained in IS per journalist's retention policy; transcript stored in IS.

Latency and Practical Use

Adds ~30 seconds to total transcription time for a 1-hour audio file vs direct NL hosting. For investigative journalism workflows this is irrelevant.
