Good to know and thanks for the education. I bookmarked this because it is a good explanation.

Secret Service? NSA? MI6?
M.D.V.
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Well, I'm in the federal government and most of our stuff are on the cloud.

Like details of cops and so? I doubt that...

my data. Imagine what could have happened if a goverment had unrestricted access to digital communication and could outlaw encryption, say, in Europe, roughly sixty years ago? Again, it is not about the situation now - we now obviously have trustworthy politicians - it is about what can (and eventually, somewhere, will) happen. And sadly quite often, wartime changes the rules of what is private and what is required to win.

Yeah, trusty politician. Obama just open a new legislation to allow government access private data, if approved, it makes me cringe even more about cloud computing.

Cringing is not good enough. Once you realize the danger, you'll loose some sleep.
What companies decide to do is up to them; little is really lost if a company ceases to exist. Decide for yourself if you want to give away information - in the wrong time, your life could depend on a FaceBook post.

It's just another tool in our arsenal. ... and like all "new" technology tools, it becomes the new "new" thing. Market analysts and CIO's drink the Kool Aid and go in to rapture, consultants jump on the gravy train and our worlds become a little more chaotic for a while.
Linux was going to be the end of MS, Netflix was going to be the end of movie theatres, ... way to many examples to list, but you get the drift.
After a while there's a collective shaking of heads, sense is (somewhat) restored and we get on with doing what we do. We might even find the new tool appropriately useful and start using it.
... and, of course, if it isn't new, give it a new, catchy name!

Here, I corrected your "mistakes" for you:

Streaming services are doing a pretty darn good job of reducing traditional movie theatre traffic.
|
|
|
|
|
No movie theatres have closed in this area!

The city where I was born, and the sister city across a river, lost 2 theaters in the last decade. One, part of a larger corporate theater chain, got refurbished.

Might I suggest a distinction between Cloud Storage and Cloud Computing. Cloud computing is the technology used by SETI and similar organisations in performing analysis of data that would tie up a dozen Cray computers for over a year. Cloud storage is the volume of file servers offered by Google, et al for filing those documents that will be forgotten until the next millennium.

Think of it as just another back up. Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

And don't store any of those "private" selfies with your data.

No one mentioned the nebulous feeling you get, as if everything is up in the air.

My biggest concern isn't security - it's the government issuing a national security warrant on your data and you not knowing about it.
|
|
|
|

and no one has yet mentioned the rules that where passed in congress in the US and what they allow the FBI to do?
hmmmm
Just have a little bit of a Google, oh and look up the entire story behind why many users didn't get their servers back in the kim.com raid.
It's rather interesting.

Hehe. Totally agree. These people are someone you'll never meet IRL. Even if they are scrutinizing your life day by day.

WTF?
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???
