I will not stop posting this on every Dropbox story on here. I find it reprehensible. Information from the linked site above on why you should not use this company's software and move to an alternative such as SpiderOak:
Why Condoleezza Rice should not hold power at Dropbox
* She helped start the Iraq War
"The Iraq War directly caused over 120,000 civilians to die. The total body count, including soldiers, is nearly 188,000. Nearly 5,000 US and coalition forces were killed. Over 30,000 were seriously wounded."
* She was involved in the creation of the Bush administration's torture program
"Rice verbally agreed to allow torture methods to be used on captured suspects, and then lied about the extent to which she was involved."
* Rice not only supports warrantless wiretaps, she authorized several
"Rice not only spoke in favor of the Bush administration's warrantless wiretap program and expansive domestic surveillance program, she authorized the warrantless wiretap of UN Security Council members."
Is this really a company you want to trust your data with, let alone your money given the blood on Rice's hands?
I feel like a broken record posting this each time a story comes up on HN but I feel it needs to be said so people can be educated about this company.
- Einstalbert 12y agoDropbox makes it easy for me to sync and share files (specifically funny meme images), I haven't found anything else that works the same way but without the, ah, interesting government aid. I've never heard of Spideroak, but it looks like it could be solid competition for what I want in specific. But now can it be trusted...
- tP5n 12y agothe point of spideroak is that you (in theory) shouldn't need to trust "it", because encryption. depending on your use case this may or may not be the case anymore though, i haven't followed the recent development of their android app or their "hive" feature.
