    There's quite a juxtaposition here.

    The Coca-Cola company can guard their secret formula so well that only a handful of employees in the entire world know it.

    On the other hand, Mango Mussolini stores stolen top-secret nuclear weapons and defence information in file boxes in his unlocked guest bathroom.

    Maybe they could teach him how to keep things secret?

  2. OK, so Dropbox is sending user files to an third party AI system.

    That resurrects some questions that I've had for a long time:

    Does use of external data services, such as Dropbox, Gmail, etc, for unencrypted files risk losing or damaging patents (due to pre-issuance disclosure), trade secrets, legal privileges, medical privacy, or any other situation in which there are obligations to protect materials from disclosure?

    Consider how angry a university or company could be if Dropbox caused a patent application (or issued patent) to become invalid because of improper external disclosure?

    By-the-way, when I refer to encryption, I mean encryption under the control of the user/data owner so that the provider (e.g. Dropbox, Gmail) can not see anything but encrypted bits - and even that may leave sensitive source/destination information in the clear.
