Now I'll even have more trust issues.
Would I rather trust;
A share-holder controlled corporation who has to follow their own rules and standards to make sure said data doesn't fall into the wrong hands.
or
Member-owned data storages that could be broken into far easier than the share-holder controlled one.
I’ll stick to my home server, thanks.
I’ve spent the last 2 years pulling all of my cloud data. I’ve read too many stories at this point about people losing access to their stuff and with the way administration is going, that’ll only get worse.
The cloud is just someone else’s computer, after all.
I never saw the point in storing my private files on someone else’s computer. Seemed like a scam, the type Facebook is.
I think the best idea would be to duplicate it multiple times and share it with multiple people encrypted so that only you can open it.
Things like IPFS, for example.
This is also the way nostr works.
If only there were some security researchers who routinely release and audit open source implementations of encryption and data safety programs.
The world would be so much better if people just trusted for-profit organizations instead of actual humans. Cuz all our modern crises like climate change, pfas in water and other ecological crises were caused by individual humans. Not these shareholder backed for profit organizations
that's just corporate fear mongering propaganda. it isn't true at all.
