What I do with my data should be a choice made by ME, and no one else, and definitely not by some uncontrollable entity on the other side of the world.
Here you speak about your data as if it were rocks you found trekking, but the data we’re talking here isn’t even paper or pictures: it’s digital data you can’t access or backup by yourself.
You definitely need uncontrollable entities all over the world for that data to exist. Somehow you’re doing what some of those entities allow you to do, and some want you to do. That’s my point.
