North Korea can demand what it wants. I'm not in North Korea.

For North Koreans, all encryption is indeed pointless if the goal is to hide it from the government, regardless of where they want to store data, for this very reason.

I can implement true end-to-end encryption in about 30 minutes (only because I gotta look up where I implemented it last). I will encrypt my data using well known and validated libraries, send it over to the cloud. Retrieve when I need it and decrypt it then. Not sure what about this is not feasible.
