Sure life is risky. But most of the scenarios you mention have nothing to do with software freedom. Say you rent rackspace. You can run free software on that server, and have complete control over all of your data. If the datacenter doesn't play nice, you can always take your software and data elsewhere. You are free. That same freedom will be useful should someone choke off your connection.
