copy: tighten sovereignty page with direct response principles
- Replace "In a world where..." cliche with punchy declarative sentences - Split opening paragraph for impact, add bucket brigade transitions - Add standalone CLOUD Act opener challenging assumptions - Shorten card descriptions and push benefits deeper (so-what chain) - Use staccato rhythm for key points (No CLOUD Act. No subpoenas.) - Tighten CTA with concrete options instead of passive framing
