Exploring local code execution versus cloud services control

The distinction between local code execution and cloud services control lies in the ability to govern content. When running code locally, individuals can create content without restrictions. However, with cloud services, the provider dictates what is permissible, such as Adobe Photoshop blocking the printing of dollar bills to prevent counterfeiting. This delineation raises questions about autonomy and the expectations users have regarding control over their devices. The discourse highlights the evolving landscape of technology and the blurred lines between personal ownership and external regulation.
