"The cloud" is pretty much incompatible with the GDPR, as file deletion can only be made ensured of by physically destroying the storage, especially for transistor storage like SSD's.
I'm wondering how long will it take until we get the first complaint based on this ?
Every business loves the idea of "the cloud" because it provides the opportunity to perform a post-facto bait and switch. Start off focusing purely on making something people want, then change whatever it takes to make it profitable. Servers shutting down for financial reasons is just another stop on this arc of renting services instead of actually selling products.
