Nowhere in that article do I see where the age of the article diminishes the content.

Cloud computing is not safe. It relies on others to store your data, to which you ultimately lose control over. It runs over the internet. The cloud provider controls your access and your data. That's the gist of Stallman's argument. It holds true in 2020 as it did in 2008.

As he says, using a web server to access your data is pfft, web server/company disappears, so does your data.

It's a con designed by accounting & marketing shysters; the sheep just follow.
