Ok, but what about companies who store sensitive data and emails on Google Apps for business, especially non US companies ? What about non US citizens who seems to have less protection and spyable at mercy ? Should we the ( whatever your country or citizenship ) avoid by all means US internet corps.

If the American gov wanted to kill the cloud, then good job ! I want to clarify that I do not trust my own gov neither ...

Nobody should store sensitive data and e-mails on a system where they're sitting there in plain text accessible to god knows how many people at Google and their data centers. That's insane.

As Microsoft was the first company to adhere PRISM as stated by the leaked slide, that also means that no company worldwide should ever use office 365, azure or managed sharepoint / exchange !

These software corps better be persuasive because a whole economic part of USA will be endangered then !

Yes. Storing sensitive corporate documents in plain text on servers owned by Microsoft, Google, etc, with no legal protections in place, is retarded.

And nobody should live in a house, sitting there in plain clothes accessible to god knows how many people in their neighborhood.

That doesn't even make any sense. Your house is your private space. Google's servers are someone else's private space. It's like leaving your business documents scattered around a Starbucks and depending on the honor system to ensure nobody reads them.
