Ridiculous, but we do it. Bloggers load their words and images and art and crafts and hopes and dreams on to the web and a simple server crash could erase them forever. Give your photos and music to Instagram, Flickr, DeviantArt, Soundcloud and you give them to others. Even your personal websites are sitting on someone else's computer. The Cloud is just someone else's hard drive. Facebook can block or delete everything you put on their site because it is their site, not yours. MySpace did it to millions and like lemmings they migrated to Facebook as if it could never happen again. here is an example of ten years of words and pictures, an internet person's life, simply erased by Facebook. It should be a crime akin to psychic murder, but Corporations are People, not us. Welcome to the brave new world.
