A week of downtime and all the servers were recovered only because the customer had a proper disaster recovery protocol and held backups somewhere else, otherwise Google deleted the backups too

Google cloud ceo says “it won’t happen anymore”, it’s insane that there’s the possibility of “instant delete everything”

    Why do you think it’s invasive? How do you quantify which providers are less invasive?

      Google is one of the most privacy invasive companies in the world. And judging by encryption standards, terms of service and privacy policies

        Are you sure you’ve not just read bad stuff without verification on the internet and feel the need to chime in on something you don’t fully understand?

            Me too as a programmer that uses Google cloud to store government information. Which bit of the policy says they are going to access your data, shouldn’t take you long to link it to me if you read them as much as you say. Unless what you’re actually doing is spreading misinformation and bullshit.
