When Snowden drew a diagram (on table napkin) how (mine, yours, our) data is vulnerable in the "cloud" I thought it was another "propaganda for his Russian masters". 

How wrong was I!

 

Now it is shamelessly openly reported. 

How cute.

 

PS: Will build my very own 256-key encrypted cloud and let them sniff their own butts.

Yeah that is worrying in itself. Nothing is private I guess if using a cloud platform. 

 

This Thai man should face some prison and shamed. Watching promotes others to exploitation and creation of such acts. He is just as guilty as they are.

I would imagine that US can scan almost anything or everything people do on their phones, in league with the big social media companies selling your data.

Unless the US laws have changed, US police and other government officials cannot easily scan any private individual's account.  I too realize that this has been done surreptitiously many times but it is still illegal to violate the privacy of citizen's without a court authorization.  However, if on an open social media channel, one sees something that indicates criminal acty, once reported to officials, and authorized by the court, police or other officials can then scan any citizen's acty, private or not.  But if anyone thinks that the US govt or any organization can easily scan EVERYONE's activity, the organization would have to have the populace of CHINA or INDIA to man the ear phones/look at data.  Snowden revealed what was "collected" by the government, but not was "processed" illegally if any.  As for the big social media companies, they are only selling data that one puts on that media freely just as WE do on this forum.  It can be monitored by anyone and people should obviously be aware of that.  Just saying.

Anyone who stores confidential data in the Cloud must be as dumb as a bunch of rocks!!

With respect, I suspect that nearly every phone is backed up on the cloud.  The same applies to companies, large and small.

From a quick search: Approximately 96% of Fortune 500 companies are utilizing cloud services, according to recent statistics from Microsoft. This high percentage reflects the widespread adoption of cloud computing among large enterprises, indicating a significant shift from traditional on-premises data management to cloud-based solutions.

thank you, it was me.

don't give a <deleted> about that idiot with a camera. CP was sold in China Town for decades. Almost openly. 

But this "cloud thingy" was the last straw. Enough is enough, have to take things in own hands.

Cloud my a**!

Considering how sensitive things are these days and considering how overzealous the authorities are, it would seem downright foolish to store any sort of porn on your phone, and to a far greater degree any sort of child porn. That just seems like you're asking for trouble. Especially if those images or videos are uploaded to the cloud. The cloud is just an open book, and my guess is that there are countless intelligence agencies that share that information if they suspect somebody, or even based on random searches. 

 

My guess is that the same applies with any messenger apps, or email. One must be very careful with communication these days.

I eliminated the cloud from my computer thanks to the IT guy at work. Nothing I have goes anywhere near there. I never trusted it.
