Don't let the Cloud rain down on you.

If you want to secure your personal data, then you have to be in control of it. giving it to the cloud (or any other on-line system) relinquishes all control of your data.

so the solution is simple. if you want others to read/ distribute your files, go ahead and use cloud.

if not, disable the system and don't use it.

If an OS wont allow you to disable the feature, change to an OS that does!

Its the only way that big corporations learn. they don't give a shit about complaints or having a bad track record with privacy and personal data protection..

what they care about is revenue.

Vote with your credit card. Make them earn your hard earned money and when they get things as wrong as this.. jump ship.
