The downside of that type of Web 2.0, is the lack of control of your own data, bringing up privacy risks.

On the other hand, this problem is appearing even to non usage of these kinds of services. For example, in Portugal a law will be taken to parlament for discussion, that demands from national internet, telephone and mobile providers to store their clients communications for a year. This includes e-mail, phonecalls (just the numbers dialed? it is still unknown), and sms. It is planned for the XO laptops in the future to use encryption in all communications. Perhaps the same should become standard in normal laptops/OSes.HoboPrimate 10:29, 6 October 2007 (EDT)
