Here's an interesting thread on Amazon uploading people's notes on books they read in Kindle.
A few comments raise interesting concerns.
If I keep notes in Logos that I later intend to use for a book, am I risking compromising my interest and rights to that material by letting Logos store those notes?
There are already world-wide conversations about the legal responsibilities and rights of storage providers. If an internet service provider can be forced by a government to hand over even temporary information, can they force Logos to hand over user notes in a legal case?
In these times, criticism of people's "life-styles" can be considered criminal in the UK and other countries. Suppose Logos' servers are hacked or information leaked through a mistake that leads to incarceration, fines or death. You might not think this is an issue because we all have the best of intentions, but the world around us is building quite an anti-Christian attitude. Logos' users are also not restricted to living in the United States.
Given the direction society is going in, I'm beginning to be more defensive about information.
I don't think Logos can take the approach of asking all of us to assume that they are
entirely neutral or benevolent in this issue. They might intend to be, but can be forced to divulge information that an evil society can use to damage people.
At the very least, just as Logos
licenses their product with a contract to customers, they should at least enter
into a contract to keep anything a user writes absolutely confidential. Is that in place? I don't remember seeing anything about it when I bought L4? Did I miss anything?
