I'm not sure why this is about security rather than any other aspect of the devices and software services we use. I agree though that power is accumulating into too few hands.

This is also the case in other industries and none of the solutions are very attractive.

This is a trans-industry problem. However, with the rise of social networks and other external data holders, it's getting more pronounced than ever in technology. I wrote a large article about this issue - the new feudalism - in summer 2011. May be of relevance, specifically the bits about distributed p2p storage: http://www.zdnet.com/facebook-google-welcome-to-the-new-feud...
