> Also, it poops your private data all over the filesystem while creating thumbnails and previews. So the answer is no, absolutely not even a single iota of effort has been expended making sure deleted data is really deleted, and inside administrators will have complete and total, unaudited access to it. That all seems solveable to me with enough money and time. What if a billion Euro gets invested into infrastructure and hardening of these tools? I think everything that you describe is a result of underinvestment. Extorting our kids data to Google cannot be better. We aren't also outsourcing the military to Blackwater and the secret service to Facebook, just because they can run it more efficiently.
