We’ve all seen the massive move to cloud and push my Microsoft to get us all there even more. What concerns me is the fact that the NSA has been saving every single thing we’ve been doing in the cloud for years already via its Prism Program, without our knowledge.
Once the internet giants have got us 100% online, what’s stopping them from pulling the plug on us unless we fork out ridiculous sums of money? There are thousands of companies all over the world apart from the billions of people all storing everything online. How do we protect ourselves if Microsoft, Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, WordPress, Youtube and friends join forces against us?
Great additional point Maarten. Just because they are vacuuming everything up doesn’t mean they’re nosing through the dustbag…
Rackspace gave a great statement about their position: http://bigseb.me/11sPHBK
It’s from one of their legal folk, not a marketeer so it’s true as blue.
