Shouldn't this involve lots of penalties? This has the potential to change/ruin lives drastically. A prudent consumer never trusts what the companies say nowadays. However, that shouldn't absolve the company of falsely claiming private product when it isn't so.
A prudent consumer would read the terms of service.
I had the pleasure of interviewing the anonymous developer of the fastest organically growing decentralized p2p app notabug.io I feel its relevant to this conversation. Why are we not switching to decentralized content sharing platforms? :S https://electronicsforu.com/resources/cool-stuff-misc/future... https://electronicsforu.com/resources/cool-stuff-misc/future...
Because that site looks like a phishing site for reddit accounts. How is 100% cloning another site's design acceptable at all?

With a couple exceptions perhaps, like Signal or iMessage? But I agree; unless the service is part of a very small whitelist, assume it's public.
except even those messages can become public, if one party makes them so, so even "secure" messaging should be considered compromised.
Just my own opinion, but at this point I think it's prudent to assume that pretty much anything you send out into the digital network world is public. If it's not something you would want the world knowing you said, don't put it out there. Security breaches happen. Bugs happen. Sometimes law enforcement just comes by and says, "Give me everything that user X has ever done." In short, sh!t happens. "Everything I do on…
This headline/article are pretty misleading. It makes the issue sound like if you had "Protect My Tweets" enabled, your tweets were still public. From reading the original notice [ https://help.twitter.com/en/protected-tweets-android ] it sounds like the setting would just be disabled, which then made your tweets public.

"The Cloud" is like storing your data with skywriting, you can see it from many locations, but so can your neighbors

Most consumers aren't prudent. Source: see warnings on any American packaging.
All of it gets filtered out by your brain and loses effectiveness immediately.

Totally agree. But where does that leave us with “The Cloud”?
You can use the cloud with confidence... for anything that you don't mind being publicly associated with you.
