Not sure if I fully agree with "Your content should be your content regardless of where it lives." - the cloud operators own the hardware that hosts this content, they could want to impose limitations on it, irrespective of whether they have any legal obligations to do so. An analogy to me would be: "Yes, you can park your RV on my lot, just don't cook meth in it.".
You can still manage your own data so that it is opaque to the cloud providers - encrypt it and don't share the key with them. They'll have no insight into the blobs of data that you're uploading to them.
- josh_today 5y agoTo use your own analogy- as an RV lot owner, should you have the right to install cameras in every RV to ensure no one is cooking meth?
- bialpio 5y agoI can certainly ask every RV owner to agree to it and they are free to accept my terms or look for another lot. Or maybe I can say that every RV will be sniffed by a dog and in case it detects something, the RV will be entered to check for compliance with the rule. Edit: to be clear, what I'm trying to say is that there are 2 parties entering an agreement here, the owner of the infrastructure also has some rights because we recognize the rights to private property.
