It&#x27;s good to know there are people like Brad Smith standing up to government demands for full access to people&#x27;s data. It brings up an interesting privacy contradiction. While storing data locally seems best for privacy, if it&#x27;s on a networked computer, there are still ways for people to get it, and unless you have really good lawyers, nobody is going to challenge governments across the world if they want to access it. By moving data to the cloud, we are creating incentives for companies like Microsoft to fight against government intrusion.
