So now what happens when law enforcement shows up to the hosting company and tells them they're raiding some servers? Will this be seen as a way to impede and slow down large scale raids?
This is not possible here in germany. Even if they want to "raid" my flat-mate, they can't go to my rooms while doing it.
You sure about that?
Excerpts from the contract: "We install The Device in your house, free of charge. You receive heat. Do not ask about the function of The Device." "You may hear a human voice coming from inside The Device. Ignore it." "Some customers report having recurring dreams about The Device, this is normal."

They only mention that the company pays for the internet service but I'd assume traffic/speed from a home could also be an issue.

There's a lot of data where that kind of security is acceptable, for example all the video content on youtube. You don't want random people to tampler with it, but it's not high security. I wouldn't want my bank to store my account data on one of those, but I wouldn't mind if website assets were served from there.
Well not all video content as Youtube allows for private (and unlisted) videos.
