Nothing is safe unless you fully control it yourself.
But your points are more around the legislative issues than the funding which is valid but a separate issue.
On that I’ve been unpicking the tie in mess I got myself into for 2 years now. I have got control over my data but not always things I reference which is where this problem comes in.
Recently a relative died and I’ve seen how a simple non technical person is screwed already due to iCloud dependency etc.
- mmooss 2y agoIs it safe if you fully control it? You are subject to pressure too.
- cgcrob 2y agoThere’s an asymptote of safety. You can be beaten with a hose to hand it over if it’s in the cloud or not. But if it’s in the cloud then they don’t need to beat you with a hose. They just legislate that they can take it and then do it. My data is safer if they have to beat me with a hose to get it first.
- cindylmcindy 2y agoCorrection: nothing is safe.
- bryanrasmussen 2y agoessentially the theory of LOCKSS https://www.lockss.org/ https://www.lockss.org/ would mean that only controlling something yourself cannot keep it safe from the threat of destruction. There are just different metrics of safety - there is also safety from revealing, and that is probably most safe if you control it all yourself, even though that increases risk of destruction and loss.
