If you use Gmail, Facebook, or any kind of SaaS, you are very much from "this day and age" and using the latest from the greatest and is trusting your data exclusively to a server!
Heck, you trust your money to a bank! You trust your bus driver not to crash the bus, your doctor to properly heal you, and your lawyer to put you out of trouble, you also trust your cook to make the meal you like.
Everyday, you give trust to many individuals and entities to whom you delegate tasks that you may or may not know how to do.
Sidekick screwed up, but I would never blame the ones who trusted them what they(the clients) did is completely normal!
- SamAtt 17y agoI'm sorry but if you are content to leave the only copy of priceless things such as contacts, treasured photos, etc... in the hands of companies with no contractual obligation to you than yes, you're a fool. The bank legally owes me my money. The bus driver is guilty of a crime if he crashes the bus. The Doctor is guilty of malpractice. If gmail deletes your account you have absolutely not recourse what so ever. None, Zip. Zilch. Zero. Sidekick did screw up but it doesn't make the people who lost their data innocent either. You have to take responsibility for that which you value.
