In the past there was a binary running on your machine working with data stored locally. You had defacto control of your data. You also had defacto control of the program running since you could look at the assembly, maybe even patch it.

Now the software, all runs on the cloud on other people’s computers and your data is stored in their systems and you may or may not be able to get it out easily.
