People can not share things with me through Facebook, for example, because Facebook is an exclusive publication and Facebook promotes OOXML. Owners of malicious “clouds” require non free software to enforce the limits they would set on their users, hence their promotion of garbage like Vista (via OOXML) and iPhone and vice versa. The use of Facebook accounts as a login by big publishers is like a spreading cancer. OOXML, if popularly adopted outside of the end of network freedom, would set the world back about fifteen years in terms of software freedom and document exchange. Thankfully, this is not happening. Clouds that lock everything up would truly put the world back into the dark ages where documents and information really has chains and total submission is the price of viewing. Big publishers would push us back to a world worse than broadcast and paper print and they are doing so with a variety of “services” that should be rejected. Kindle is another good example.

Sites like Wikipedia are philosophical and technical opposites to “the cloud”.
