One of the main problems with SaaS is that the users +has no control over their data. + +\section*{Privacy and Surveillance} +With large clientele comes a lot of power. Large transnational +operators, such as Google, are profiting from efficient use of privacy +invading schemes. Together with e.g.\ Google's email service one also +gets things that was probably \emph{not} asked for: advertisement, +semantic analysis of email contents, and spying. One part of Google's +marketing strategy is to sell the collected information to third +party. + + +We formed the association in 2010, seven years ago.
