Of course they don't. Its pretty clear that we should question their motives in this statement. They want to get out in front of any potentially burdensome regulations that might lead to them having to expose customer data to arbitrary government demands and then get sued by the customer. All these "cloud" evangelists are finally realizing that physical possession of one's data - something that may seem quaint and old fashioned in concept - is actually the fundamental key to this. They don't have our interests at heart, only their bottom line.
