Abstract :
Cloud computing is emerging as a serious paradigm shift in the way we use computers. It relies on several technologies that are not new. However, the increasing availability of bandwidth allows new combinations and opens new IT perspectives. The data storage and processing power are being moved to more efficient and centralized structures over the web. Costs are being reduced with the loss of our data control as a trade-off. It will almost be inevitable for companies not to follow this trend. Yet, there are some important challenges to overcome. This paper discusses Cloud Computing concept concerning privacy and how it may affect our freedom of speech.
