Yes !!!

And what if your data is legal in one jurisdiction traverses a region 
where that data is illegal?  Think privacy/health/etc.

I wrote a bunch of posts about these issues over the years.  Links below.

Not astroturfing, we don't advertise on the blog, so there is absolutely 
no revenue headed our way if you visit.

and others.  You have to be worried about where your data is stored, 
what you are computing with it.  No single provider can provide you with 
everything.  You *need* multiple providers.  And getting a common API 
would be wonderful.
