Happily using Zoho for 2-3 years now. Moved away from Google because... well you can't trust them with anything.
- Reticulate 4y agoWhat about elections? We can trust Google with those, right?
- Mandatum 4y agoHaha, and you can trust the Indian government? No offense, but India any cop can walk into Zoho's offices and ask for whatever they want. It doesn't have to go through any agency. Given the corruption of that country, you're absolutely dreaming if you think your data is safer.
- bhaskara2 4y agoBullshit. India is not an autocratic country. Indian people’s rights are well protected by rule of law.
- unmole 4y agoThe same law that gives any officer in charge of a police station the authority to demand any data deemed desirable for the purposes of any investigation, inquiry, trial or other proceeding?
- sriram_malhar 4y agoAre you serious? I wish there were an an emoji for a hollow, scornful laugh. India is not an autocratic country only as long as the autocrats at any level don't deem you a threat. Otherwise you are screwed. When the law makers and law enforcers form a tight bond, what is the meaning of "protected" and "rule of law"? Try getting the law involved when you don't want to pay a bribe. Try peacefully protesting for people's rights. https://www.wired.com/story/modified-elephant-planted-evidence-hacking-police/ https://www.wired.com/story/modified-elephant-planted-eviden... There is v little room for dissent under this govt. Try appealing to the law by getting the local MLA/MP's goons off your land. I could go on ....
- isthisthingon99 4y agoIt's the same in western countries
- sriram_malhar 4y agoNo, not really. Of course shit happens everywhere, but the scale is VASTLY different.
- isthisthingon99 4y agoIn Western countries: 1. They use the law to do the same thing 2. The media doesn't report on it
- keewee7 4y agoI don't think India is a lawless jungle as you portray it. Indian authorities have tried to ban cryptocurrencies but have repeatedly been blocked by the courts. Whatever you think about crypto this indicates a healthy division of power and check against government overreach.
- unmole 4y agoYou might want to read Section 91 of the CrPC: https://indiankanoon.org/doc/788840/ https://indiankanoon.org/doc/788840/
- mgol94 4y agoYou can choose to have your data in GDPR-compliant EU-based datacenter
- badcppdev 4y agoI'm not worried about the US or Indian government. I am worried about Google blocking my account and me not being able to contact anyone to get access to it ever again.
- JustSomeNobody 4y agoThis right here. This is why I left Google.
