Cloud Computing, Social Media Websites and your Personal Data, the on going issues with privacy

Online Data security still remains the most critical issue for businesses and individuals. There are still no clear cut regulations on the issues of data ownership, who owns the data that is stored? What happens to the data if online storage providers go out of business? Who will be responsible for the stored data?

Without Cloud Computing, Social Media Websites and various online services, much of the Internet as we know it today won’t be possible. But we can’t stop thinking of data security just as we can’t stop thinking about our physical security in our home and cities.

As someone put it “at some point, you just have to surrender control.”
