While I largely agree with you (and have written as much in my blog) I disagree about the risk with cloud services. I only see two places where "the cloud" increases the risk of a privacy violation: 1) Inherent decreased security of cloud services makes a data breach more likely and 2) an increased risk that authorities could seize a server that contains sensitive data. Even though the EFF singles out The Cloud for an award they only highlight risk #2 of my list. I'd like to hear why you are singling out the cloud (I'm not trying to be combative, I'm truly interested). I see very similar problems with cloud architecture as I do with VPS or even single owner servers. In my opinion the real privacy risks (controllable ones anyway) have to do with services sharing information with third parties, not information security risks.
