There's always two sides to a story. That being said, it seems like every other week now there's a story of a cloud service or provider shutting something down or removing something, without our with very little notice, and the only recourse for somebody who cannot afford an army of lawyers is calling them out on Twitter and hoping for the best.
This is an alarming trend, and highlights how decentralization and, at the same time, more accountability for this sort of action from these providers is necessary (through regulation?). Sadly it seems like at least the EU is currently walking in the opposite direction, which favors large corporations and the content industry :(
- gloflo 7y ago> This is an alarming trend This has always been the case, ever since BBS operators. Data on other people's machines is data on other people's machines.
- klez 7y agoThis is true. The only difference is that now there's more money (and people's livelihood) on the table. Or even just bigger numbers.
