Why shouldn't they be able to know/inspect/scan the content that they are physically storing?
I'm genuinely curious the logic.
From my perspective, they're a company providing a service and can determine the terms upon which they'll provide it. You don't have to use them if you don't like it.
- barnabee 4y agoRight to privacy. Companies have never had carte blanche to create any terms they like. Many types of contractual agreement are illegal or unenforceable. Your landlord can’t just turn up and start rifling through your stuff, and the owner of your rented disk space shouldn’t be allowed to do the digital equivalent.
- exodust 4y agoI quite like the landlord analogy. Landlords need to give notice before any termination action. Even if reasons are not given for termination, the tenant is warned and given time to prepare. Another analogy might be a long term storage locker. You, the customer, place your belongings in the locker, and return a month later to find it empty. All your stuff was destroyed by the storage facility, because they found pirated movies among your belongings!
- cardiffspaceman 4y agoThat won't keep your landlord from rifling your stuff if they think your legal foo is weaker than theirs, nor from claiming that they had the right to do it.
