Re: [PLUG] Personal Cloud Server

[Robert via plug <plug@lists.phillylinux.org>]

Why give more information to Google then they already have?  Once you 
place your data in the cloud they own it.  They can do what ever they 
like with it except outright delete it.  Sure there are SLA and other 
agreements in place but do you really know what they are doing with your 
data once it is on their servers?  Do you think you can prove what that 
they copied it to another system for analysis or for that matter take 
the time and costs of such an venture?  They know that you cannot afford 
it so they will do as they please.
