If it is to involve "the cloud", won't it be susceptible to the various 
spy agencies of the NSA, the CIA, and the Google, and the other ones 
about which we do not yet know, for possible use by the House Unamerican 
Activities Committee, with information about participants possibly being 
sold to Microsoft?

And, thus, as a branch of the USA, the House Unaustralian Activities 
Committee might also get the information, and, if ASIO and other 
Australian agencies get the information, it could be equally worrying.
