> Third Party Doctrine says that once you give your data to someone else, you lose most of your rights to privacy, control, etc. This is what I wish more people could understand about "the cloud". The moment your private data is sent to a third party, it's game over in terms of having any privacy control on that data (unless it's encrypted with keys only you control and only you can ever access, but that's rare, intentionally). So many people will argue "Oh but I trust company Foo" without realizing that is completely irrelevant. Company Foo might be trustworty, today. But management can change in the blink of an eye and they now still have your data. Or most importantly, regardless of how honorable management is, they can receive government orders (up to including NSLs) which force them to leak the data no matter what.
