[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1400237, member: 71075"] Oh, I don't disagree about possible intentions or uses. My concern is the automatic blame applied to one group (this goes for anything in life) when all parties involved have given themselves the exact same powers. It could very well be argued however that overlooking one group because it doesn't have particular intentions makes it harder to believe that they are doing things with your data (which goes for all the parties involved). I suppose the essence of my point here is that everyone, although perhaps not having the same intentions, has the power to do similar things with your content. Whether or not they do it is a different story. As to the "may" - sure, some "may" look at aspects of your data (I imagine that full on reading/viewing is against the law unless it's for law enforcement reasons) but who defines "may"? It's the potential that's more scary than anything. Now, I'm a bit hypocritical - I make use of two of those services (Google and Dropbox). If they decide to take a peek however, they won't find anything interesting (my cloud content is quite boring for this reason), haha. [/QUOTE]
