There's very little discussion of the privacy risks associated not only with cloud computing but with online services of any kind.

Most people seem only too happy to give these corporations information about their interests, their friends, their preferences, etc.

Users think they're getting all these great services for free, but in fact the cost of these services is information about yourself, information that will be collected, sold, correlated, aggregated, and used in ways most people now can not even imagine.

There needs to be more awareness and discussion of the implications.
