If your Google account is banned tomorrow, what will you have left?
A couple of days ago, a photographer friend of mine broke down at a party.
The reason is simple and absurd: his cloud account was permanently banned for violating sharing rules (which was actually a misjudgment).
Ten years of work, records of a child's growth, all work documents, instantly evaporated. No way to appeal, data can't be retrieved.
Looking at him like that, a term popped into my head: digital lobotomy.
In a centralized world, our memories do not belong to us; they belong to the server. As long as the platform is willing, it can turn you into a 'blank person' with no past at any time.
