If something of similar consequences as the kill switch [1] were
triggered against the WMF in USA, would it still be accessible for the
rest of the world?

I wonder how robustly the user database is backed
up / whether it's in
multiple data centers.
Talking to Danese yesterday, she is keenly aware of this stuff and how
the Tampa data centre is one hurricane away from disappearing! Hence
plans for a redundant data centre in Virginia, etc.
You're right that our role as
identity-verifier for our millions of users is important.
That's getting into more esoteric threat models, e.g. protecting
reusers from an insane contributor, or protecting contributors from a
malicious reuser. But the data we hold but don't put into the public
dumps is really very important stuff.
