Rant apart, this seriously raise the question of do we not need to have an alternative (maybe a pan European subsidized, not for profit organization) to Skynet (sorry I meant Google)?
The UK already has a program for accrediting and validating cloud providers (called G-Cloud[1]), that classifies services according to their suitability for storing confidential information, and of which Google is already excluded.
If this company used Google anyway, what makes you think they wouldn't have even if there was such organization in place?
