Asking is not a solution.
This is a question of trust. I have to trust that DO will keep my data safe, that, if the US government would be after my data, DO would prevent them from accessing it. I have to trust that DO won’t access my data.
How am I supposed to trust my, and my user’s personally identifying data, to a company that just like that revokes credit, without warning, and says "well, if you ask nicely, you can get it back"?
- Johnny555 9y agoBilling practices and data privacy seem like completely different subjects and I'd be surprised if there's much correlation between the two.
- kuschku 9y agoWhy? You’d trust all your private data, and your customers data, to a company that just tried to scam you out of money if you hadn’t been careful? (Maybe "scam" is a strong word, but the result is the same – changing the ToS to revoke credit with only a weeks warning certainly is shady) I’m sorry, but I can’t trust such a company.
- asddddd 9y ago> ...if the US government would be after my data, DO would prevent them from accessing it. This is completely unrealistic. If the [local jurisdiction government] is after your data, they'll have your host, ISP, and anyone else give it to them. (Inexplicable downtime = your server being imaged.) Believing anything else, IMO, is purely delusional.
- kuschku 9y agoWell, the US isn’t the local jurisdiction. I’m in Germany, my users are in Germany, and if I host with DO in Frankfurt, I have to trust that my data stays in Frankfurt.
