I don't use anything cloud based and much of my shit isn't even allowed out to the internet.
It's a drop in the ocean, for too many say "But it's sooooo convenient and I've got nothing to hide" and open up all they got. Share camera's with amazon, email address book with facebook etc. not realizing nor caring I make an appearance in their instances too and I DO mind.
people that tell me "they have nothing to hide" understand where I am coming from in terms of privacy when I ask them to write down their social security number on a piece of paper with their debit/credit card information
If you have nothing to hide, would you please consider installing 4K cameras in every corner of your house that publicly livestream your every action and also remove your front door?
