Who will have access to your data.
Politico did an article last week suggesting that Cloud vendors here in the U.S. might be having some issues landing foreign customers because of the Patriot Act and many are requiring that vendors establish domestic data centers within their respective borders rather than having it hosted on cloud servers abroad.

Put your data on a U.S.-based cloud, they warn, and you may just put it in the hands of the U.S. government.

Through treaties, intimidation and just plain old fashioned Blackmail, there are no safe havens anywhere.

A few years back, I had a savings account in a bank in Latvia, Eastern Europe, till is was confiscated by the Russian Moffia.
I still have the Debit Card, but the money is gone. It just as well have been up in a cloud. Eh?

That was a good article.
