There is
a huge (nefarious) push by corporations (who are in bed with governments) to
force / entice / reward users to put all their data onto the internet
under a mystical marketing label called the
cloud, which in reality is someone else's computer systems.
You are
'enticed' to upload your private and confidential data like your PRIVATE
passwords, POS (Point Of Sale) figures, your accounting software's
analytics, your private correspondence you composed in Microsoft's products,
for 'free' where now you can even use apps to create CAD (Computer Aided
Design) drawings which realistically is MAD (Mobile Aided Design?), in order to
capture every part of your life.
Technically
nothing is for 'free', where people may associate this term, as being without
charge, but there is a cost attached, just maybe not passed onto that 'person',
at that very instant of the transaction taking place, or it is incorporated
elsewhere.
YOUR data
stored on a 'free' platform is no longer 'yours' which basically means that
this data is used for monetary gain, in whichever way the storage provider sees
fit, whether it's disclosed or not.
Once upon
a time if authorities needed access to your documents, then (maybe) a search
warrant had to have been issued, together with a fair few able bodied people
travelling in a gas guzzling vehicle to the place of interest, where a break in
may had to occur with the possibility of a scuffle or three, where maybe filing
cabinets needed to be removed and sifted through.
All this
hard work is now obsolete, where you the 'data generator' stores ALL your
information for 'free' in the cloud, where warrants are a distant faded memory
and your data is obtained by one person to do what they have been instructed to
do, or even do whatever they choose themselves to do with that data.
The
'problem' there is that too many people are choosing to give their data to
unknown sources for free, i.e. no monetary compensation.
Now now,
let's not make too much noise with the "nothing to hide nothing to fear"
propaganda slogan.
