Re: Will the digital cloud lead to a deluge of privacy class actions?

Yah, those TOS's have to change....  I had no idea Apple's TOS was so bad...  Amazon can wipe your kindle without 
notice, including wiping all your e-books with zero compensation or return...

 Both reasons I'll NEVER buy an Apple product or Amazon Kindle....   I'm sure some other TOS's are just as bad too...

 When will people rise up and speak with their dollars and not buy these products until the TOS gets more realistic?

Here's one of my big complaints with the cloud. We have done such a
poor job over the years of protecting data within our purview, we move
it to the cloud and provide another layer of indirection. That's 2x
the point of failures, and at least an additional layer of corporate
rabbit holes.

Couple the cloud with obscene Terms of Service (for example, Apple
states they can lose your data, give it away, or provide it to law
enforcement without making you whole), and the user or consumer is
only going to be abused more often.
