I agree that recent events have made it unsafe to host anything on a US company's cloud server.

But I disagree that recent events are the biggest reason not to host anything on Google, AWS, or Microsoft servers. You should have gotten away from them long ago.

While I agree, open source technology hadn't yet fully matured when the NSA leaks first dropped. Something like Owncloud had only recently launched back then.
