Richard Stallman's 2008 warning that cloud computing is a trap resurfaces
Original: Cloud computing is a trap, warns GNU founder Richard Stallman (2008)
A 2008 Guardian interview is recirculating in which GNU founder Richard Stallman called cloud computing 'a trap' aimed at forcing people to buy into locked, proprietary systems. He urged users to keep their data on their own computers and dismissed the concept as marketing hype, saying it was worse than a mistake: an outright trap designed by vendors.
Why now: The interview is being discussed again amid ongoing debate about centralisation of data in the hands of a few large cloud providers.
