Yes, I wonder if RMS has any objection to clouds where the user data is encrypted end-to-end, like with Tahoe-LAFS. Does that count as running your own server if you have client-side encrypted data through Tahoe backed up on Amazon servers? Or is there too much info leaked, or some other way that Amazon could engage in hostile behavior with respect to data it cannot read?

He certainly doesn't object to things because someone calls them "cloud-something", but because of the power structure they entail--which happens to include stuff such as surveillance and lock-in with a lot of the stuff that's currently being sold as "cloud services".
