Since some weeks all my cisco / juniper equipment was replaced with open source solutions (sometimes with embedded devices) and that works fine. Google as search engine and Facebook accounts are deleted and some more things. Cloud solutions outside europe now are forbidden for me. Thank you NSA & Co. for your "great" work :-(
Back in 2008 when Sweden publicly stated that their SIGINT police, 'FRA', starts to spy all traffic coming and going to Swedish borders. Finnish pirate party had two suggestions to this revelation 1) Finland needs own direct fibre connection to Germany, to by-pass Swedish spying -- sounds good, since only those who tell about spying, spy -- germany has flawless recent history record about spying 2) Finland needs goverment operated mandator VPN box in border -- Just like other civilized states, like China and Saudi Arabia. Point I'm making, it's naive to think landscape has changed or that non-implied instances are safer. The most local cloud providers I know personally, and conversely they know me personally, so there is quite high degree of likelyhood for them to come up with reason to access my data. If I'm worried about the data, I should store it myself. If the data is non-encrypted email, there are so many points to intercept it at, make sure it is something that survives being published. If it's encrypted, it does not much matter where you store it, as long as you don't decrypt it there. -- ++ytti
