Have you seen what happens when AWS goes down? It does, and will happen. Therefore by your measure it and all the startups that use it are naive and dangerous

  Have you seen what happens when a Cloud gets hacked into, and the photo's get leaked? I have and it isn't pretty. So? Let people have control over their data back again. Promoting the denigration of these rights at the call of convenience just means that within a year or so, we'll probably be re-inventing this discussion again, only it'll be about how great it is that OS vendors have started integrating things like ipfs.io ..

    > Have you seen what happens when a Cloud gets hacked into, and the photo's get leaked? I have and it isn't pretty. I've seen people lose the only copy of important documents when their hard drive crashes, too. The average computer user doesn't have any concept of off-site backup. > Let people have control over their data back again. When did they lose it? I've yet to encounter a platform where cloud storage is required or the only option.

    > Let people have controls over their data back again... I think you're confused about iCloud. People do have controls over their data, and no rights are denigrated. Perhaps you are mistaking it for Google, or Facebook where there is no desktop equivalent.
