I might be exaggerating a little, but all this does is making the move to "cloud-systems/apps" slow down. People or companies are already afraid of the cloud concerning owning their data, spying, etc... Articles like this are bad advertising (but also good to point out the privacy issues, don't get me wrong here). Maybe everyone should start running their "OwnCloud" (pun and reference intended) as well as their own email system? So in other words, let's abandon the cloud all together?
- nitrogen 14y agoSo in other words, let's abandon the cloud all together? Yes, let's. For non-critical public services like blogs and videos, cloud providers like AWS and VPS hosts are great. But for things that matter significantly, like corporate e-mail, let's abandon the cloud and regain some of the decentralization that the earlier Internet protocols like SMTP exemplify.

Even if it was in-house, you'd have to obey a court order to turn records over. This is more about real-time access.
- marssaxman 14y agoYes. Let's abandon the cloud all together - as currently engineered, anyway, where it's basically just a private datacenter. If we can find some way to build a distributed, decentralized, encryption-security-based mesh-network system, that might actually deserve to be called "the cloud".
