Resistance is FUTILE
Freedom is an illusion, according to the late political genius George Carlin. So, boycotting US cloud tech is futile. Any other political borders in mind? How about rooting for cloud tech. in China? My point it simply this: governments aren't the ones to worry about, it's the companies. The church once ruled, then the politicians and now, we're seeing the emergence the corporation and multinational conglomerates - and it's only the beginning. When companies like Google, Facebook and Yahoo oversee most of our daily electronic communication and snoop for commercial purposes, we seem to be alright with that. Even if we are not alright with it, we have no recourse because corporations legalize their wrong-doing in fine print - it's too bad most governments can't and don't do the same. The truth is, there's no privacy, no freedom of speech, freedom of choice, etc. And if you store unencrypted files somewhere on the internet, someone somewhere is liable to read it. The next question is, why do these companies not provide and simplify a process of encrypting your own before sending it to them?
