It should be easier enough to find out who the CEO is and what his political contributions are/were to the Democrat Party.
Based on what they did, when they did, I wouldn’t consider paying them anything to back up my information; they cannot be trusted in my opinion.
If one were basing their decision on the ethics of the CEO who supports the likes of MoveOn.org...one must ask oneself...
My computer is backed up on Carbonite, what are the chances that this company will rollover and handover my personal computer files if the government requests them? Are my files, still truly my files or are they now subject to some obscure clause in the contract to the government. Did one sign up under the offer code, "Rush, Beck, or other conservative host?" Have I unwittingly put myself on a 'list?' Can they or will they use this information against me somehow?
Although Carbonite makes good faith efforts to store Your backed-up files in a secure operating environment that is not accessible to unauthorized users, Carbonite cannot guarantee complete security. By using such products and services, You knowingly accept this risk.
