Honestly, i was happy when i first discovered google's data liberation project..http://www.dataliberation.org/. Was upset with fb a few years ago.. But nowadays i have accepted that no private company is going to have a financial incentive to give back my data. At best, there can be laws that are made, but loopholes will be found. Am moving all the stuff i care about to a vps hosted server. probably a couple more months and even email should be moved. Yay..:-)
