Apple Invests 800 Million In Data Center In China To "Protect" People's Data
Apple announced today that will invest 800 Million Euros in the construction of a data center in China, which will allow management of iCloud storage services without infringing the standards of this country.
It will be managed by Guizhou-Cloud Big Data Industry (GCBD) owned by the Chinese Government, which is raising doubts about the security of iCloud accounts, which store personal information transferred from iPhones, iPads and computers.
The US technology giant has stepped up to advise the center to comply with China's legislation that requires data storage providers to keep information of the country's customers on computers located in Chinese territory.
Guizhou's data center will store photos, videos, and documents from iCloud accounts of Apple customers living in China, even if they are absent from the country.
Customer data from outside China will continue to be stored in the United States and the data center in Denmark.
Meanwhile, the Guizhou center is under construction, Apple will lease the services of the country's three largest telecom operators in order to meet all legal requirements to operate in China.
The problem is, we all know that Chinese government always want to get their hands on Chinese people's information... And it most certainly will happen when the data center is operating.
Let's hope they'll never link the data center's together because in that case, everyone's data will be available to the Chinese government. Information is Power in these days...
