> Let me explain what happens when my house burns down

Does your house burn down that often?

Frankly, getting deplatformmed is a much higher-probability event.

No, they contain all data you think you own.



Robbed, flooded will have similar effects.

I think you've got the probability backwards, in reality.

I created that data, so it's mine by law. Or it is data that was never mine in the first place. Plus, my google data is stored in 3 places: Google, Dropbox and local system. If 2 of them fail, I still have the other.

As to who can access that data, well, that's a question for everybody isn't it? If I would run my own server on the internet that would also be the same question.

So yes, I'm pretty sure it's MY data. I'm also protected by EU laws.
