Hm, I'm not an "expert". Believing that there's any level of security, at this point in time, in any cloud based service is a sign of a semi-retarded IT person IMHO.

That doesn't mean I don't support the cloud, don't use or don't like the technologies that we have today. I wish I could learn and use all modern services out there.

There are various levels of security needed, depending on a case-to-case scenario. I don't believe any company wilfully would create any kind of problems to any of it's users/clients. There are hosting providers (the PirateBay was using one) who are renowned for resisting subpoenas and what not.

BUT if you need absolute security - for whatever reason - in today's world you start by combining carefully the HARDWARE, you don't even buy ready-made products, then you place the server in a place where is physically safe from discrete eyes and hands. Then we can talk software...
