Deep dives
The Problem of Centralized Data Storage
Cloud storage providers have become the dominant custodians of our data, leading to centralization and potential risks. A handful of companies, such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Google, control the majority of the world's data, creating single points of failure. This concentration of power not only puts our data at risk of loss or accidental removal, but also makes censorship easier. Governments can exert control over centralized data storage, leading to restricted access and potential manipulation of information.
