The question is who do you want to have access to your data. I am fairly confident that the only reason Huawei is such a threat to US national security is that it will lose its power to go through your data. It is far difficult to have Huawei doing something dirty in Europe or US. Store your data with western companies if you are in China, and store your data with Chinese/Russian companies if you are in Europe seems to be the least worse idea to me XD

If you are a high value target, then "hackers" will get access to your data anyways, and will extort you. Those "hackers" will just speak different accents :).

>will get access to your data anyways

No they don't, if you know in the first place that your a "high value target"

Thanks for that information, never heard of data diodes before.

Crazy, that such a seemingly simple idea was only realized as recently as 2015.

That's my point. Don't just use one of the unprotected services that get unencrypted data. They will use your data for their gains. The goals they use them for will just be different, depending on which country it is.

>Don't just use one of the unprotected services that get unencrypted data

I think that's obvious, since the days of telnet/rsh.
