I sure hope so. Because if not, that will mean everything is on "the cloud" -- and the main thing to know about "the cloud" is that there is no such thing, it's just someone else's machine. And if everything is on that, the owner of that machine will in practice have become Big Brother. It doesn't matter if there's just one of him or some oligarchy of a few of them.
Wether it be the Federation or the Empire; MicroGoog, OraFace, or Applazon; or any combination thereof -- Big Brother will inevitably be evil because A) Power corrupts (where is "Don't be evil" now?), and B) the whole idea of a "Big Brother" with absolute power is evil.
