[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1398939, member: 71075"] And I'll link to [URL="http://www.theverge.com/2012/4/25/2973849/google-drive-terms-privacy-data-skydrive-dropbox-icloud"]this[/URL] article that shows how Apple's, Google's, Microsoft's and Dropbox's privacy policies aren't all that different. They all give you ownership protection and they all require that you give them the right to do stuff with your content (using almost the exact same language). So, I'll revise Gruber's myopic quote: "Sure, I trust Google, Apple, Microsoft and Dropbox to regulate and control the contents of my account. Why not?" Welcome to the cloud. It doesn't matter who you have an account with since someone else has access to your content (and as shown, the same levels of access across platform). I'm not defending Google (I'm content with Dropbox) but I think it's important to put things into context here before we bring out the metaphorical uninformed conspiracy pitchforks. [/QUOTE]
