Chrome OS to force users to tell information to third parties, says Stallman.
Free software guru Richard Stallman has criticized Google; s a new Chrome OS, saying that it “push people become careless computing”.
Stallman, Free Software Foundation and founder of THE GNU OS the author told the Guardian newspaper, that the use of cloud computing to manage data loss.
Cut down ChromeOS is designed for people who spend most of their working time on the Web, and usually runs only the Web browser uses the applications in the cloud. The operating system, which is based on the GNU/Linux and open source chromium OS project, runs only on Google and its partners, which only stores data locally, suitable for pushing the remainder of the Google’s cloud services such as Gmail and Google Docs, the minimum number of envisaged by the hardware.
Stallman said that the ChromeOS force users to save information about the cloud rather than on your own hardware, which could cause the legal ownership of their own in order to reduce the risk of data loss.
“In the United States, even if you lose your legal rights if the data is saved in the company’s machines, on the other hand, and oman. The police need not present you can Find the information you can obtain a warrant; But if they are stored in the Enterprise Server, the police can get it without showing anything. They can do not need to give the company the search order, “he said.
“I reckon that Marketers such as cloud, because it is devoid of any distinctive character, or any material intended for the processing of the data. Term not substance, in accordance with the attitude: “Let Tom, Dick and Harry hold data, Tom, Dick and Harry do for you the computer (and its combat).” Careless computing term might be better suited.
“I suppose many people still paving the way for a careless computing, because the Sucker is born every minute. The u.s. Government is trying to encourage people to bring their data, if the u.s. Government may be confiscated it without showing them to locate the provision rather than your own property. But, as long as enough of us continue to be under the supervision of our own, we do not keep the data. “And we had better make or option will be lost,” Stallman is added.
