If I were needing a place to store the phone calls of millions of people recorded without consent for speech recognition, sentiment analysis etc, I wouldn't use a public cloud provider simply because the chances of a data leak would be too high.

All that stuff would be best done with a big order to Dell and renting space in a data center nearby (ie. Not overseas)
