> How long do you think for governments to make it illegal to self host or backdoor Linux builds?
Probably never, it won't be worth the trouble because it's always going to be a fringe thing for the reasons you say :). One can hope anyways.
Also, if the government decides I'm a baddie, they can always just show probable cause to a judge and come physically get my hardware, so they have a more traditional path there to handle weirdos like me already :).
FWIW, I agree completely strong encryption in SAAS is necessary for privacy. But pragmatically, there's little hope laws like this won't eventually take root in more places. So the statement stands irregardless of the challenges: the cloud is just someone else's computer.
One final note: I don't think E2E means what most people think it means unfortunately - lots of companies imply that you're the only one with access to the encryption keys when E2E is on, but if you read the fine print, it often really just says is the data is encrypted in flight, not what the policy is for protecting the data on the other "end."
This is the awesome thing about ADP - they spell out the full policy in glorious detail.
