I've been thinking about this. I really think there can be zero trust. The last 30 years of experience have shown that there is no "cloud" that will ever be invulnerable to hacking/back doors/government subpoena.
I believe the future requires open source tools that allows everything to work together on your own hardware seamlessly. Anything else will 100% be taken and used against your will.
My biggest issues other than privacy concerns is the fact corpations can turn your devices into paperweights over night by just turning off their servers.
