Tbh I do not understand why would a company keep their data on a service like Google Cloud
Money. It's a lot cheaper to let somebody else maintain your systems than to pay somebody to create and maintain your own, directly.
No I meant that Google Cloud is very invasive. Why not to use a more ethical provider?
Why do you think it's invasive? How do you quantify which providers are less invasive?
Google is one of the most privacy invasive companies in the world. And judging by encryption standards, terms of service and privacy policies
Are you sure you've not just read bad stuff without verification on the internet and feel the need to chime in on something you don't fully understand?
Yes. I read Google's policies many times.
Me too as a programmer that uses Google cloud to store government information. Which bit of the policy says they are going to access your data, shouldn't take you long to link it to me if you read them as much as you say. Unless what you're actually doing is spreading misinformation and bullshit.
and you know the security standards that are achievable on google cloud entirely negate your point right? their cloud offering is a totally different beast
