> No matter, how secure your cloud vendor is storing your data, you are going to lose control. Same holds true for the European cloud.
Not fully truth. You can ask for the complete deletion via EU GDPR.
About the other concepts, yes it’s true but it’s the price to pay for the convenience of having the data stored by the hardware/software of someone else.
You can always buy your home storage device, configure it, expose it online, maintenance it, etc…
My favorite analogy here is the old sex education trope- "wear a condom or you are exposed to all of the STDs of all of your partner's partners". Only in the cloud, the arrow of time is reversed. Everything you share you have to trust the company to steward, and not just the company as currently constituted, but all future versions, ownerships, partners and employees of the company.
