And there's the rub "whatever it..." They can change it, you can't.
If you're happy to sign up with companies that may shut down their
service at any time, lose data without having to compensate you, have
T&Cs that deny you the right to negotiate terms but give them the
absolute right to change the aforesaid T&Cs at any time, give rights of
use of your data to them, give them the right to delete content they
deem inappropriate, etc, then fine, you sign up.
Use of heavy crypto is no guarantee of security either. It's even
possible that using cryptography may get your data flagged for deletion
and account terminated with extreme prejudice because the companies
holding said data don't want the hassle they might get from the local
law enforcement if they continue to host it. In part, it was an excuse
to dump services they no longer wished to host I know, but look what
several USA based ISPs did WRT their NNTP service after events in New
York.
Finally, the facts that you admit to using crypto, a need for
scepticism, etc. indicates to me you're not really happy about the way
it all operates.
