The government is going to get its backdoor into cloud computing platforms one way or the other, because of child porn, the terrorists, and corruption. The segmenting idea is a dumb one because we don't physically own the space, it isn't ours. People with wearable supercomputers on programmers who are able to understand the metal on up through the software and data will be only truly free citizens (free from government fiddling with and spying on everything they do).
There will be precious few free independent citizens in the coming centuries. Most humans will become as one, where one human's consciousness will blur and blend into everyone else's. I will be one of the islands, choosing: "thanks, but I prefer you not have data injection, and fiddling rights with my own mind".
The beginning of this blended and blurred consciousness and hive minds begins here, today, with cloud computing becoming owned by the government, and having your desktops, laptops, smartphones and interfaces with your own mind as thin-clients. Where you begin to think about a crime, and the others will say: "That is a bad idea" and stop you as you are doing the crime.

I like the assertion that the wearable supercomputers will be the only truly free citizens. It's probably not exactly what you meant... :)
