I agree and to add a comment from my crack pop conspiracy minded brain I
would add that what is right by person could be wrong by another.
Privacy, security, and ownership of your content is very important and
the "cloud" really messes things up...

 

I can see a lot of good uses for the "cloud"... For example "testing
environments" where you can rent servers to do testing on... This would
be cool but to put my data or to have some company put their data which
might have info about me in it is something I don't like, trust, or
want... It is scary...  and it has nothing to do with not doing anything
wrong.    

 

or that is my view.  As you can tell, I feel pretty strong about this
one.

This isn't about you doing anything illegal, just being accused of it...

OK- let's say someone accuses you of an illegal activity, Google shuts
down your account. Can you get access to the data you own? Can you still
use it?

from the Google terms of service:

"Google does not own Customer Content, or any End User or third-party
content and/or information used as a part of the Service, including the
content of communications appearing as part of the Service"

that is not true with google apps.   you still own the data.  it is a
very fair and customer oriented license.

I think Google has good intentions, but a company that large with so

I have been told that the Google apps licenses says that they own the
data you create online, does anyone know if that is true?

Upside is the world definitely needs a better browser interface

 

Downside is Google is becoming dangerously like an evil empire, wanting
all of our apps and data and communications in their framework......
