    I relaxed a bit after I realized that - unless you’re paying for HIPPA grade privacy (or similar), Google/Microsoft/Amazon index your data so hard, it may as well be leaked. So a failure to protect my data is at worst the same as hosting in the cloud.

    (Probably still better - if someone made a torrent of my personal data, it probably wouldn’t be popular - if 300 downloaded it, it would still be less then the ~800+ advertisers Google will just freely give my information to, barring some kind of Streisand effect)
