	On Nov 6th 2008 AOL removed user data from everyone who built a website using their service. AOL placed a brief warning about this change on the front page of the Hometown website. The post urged users to archive or backup their data in order to protect it from erasure. The notice was placed on the homepage on September 30th, 2008, giving users "4 weeks to figure out how to get their data off the servers, find a new place to send the data, get that arranged, and then do the transfer"<ref>Scott, Jason. Eviction, or the Coming Datapocalypse. December 21st, 2008. Accessed July 15, 2009. http://ascii.textfiles.com/archives/1617</ref>. The problem is that the overwhelming majority of AOL Homesites users had no idea how to check the front page of the site for updates, let alone understand how to archive their websites and data. Because of this, the unexpected erasure of personal websites from AOLs servers caused general public outcry and anguish. Websites about loved ones and digital memories were permanently erased without any possible chance of getting them back. No customer service or apology was offered to those affected. It marked the first sense of digital death for many casual Internet users.		On Nov 6th 2008 AOL removed user data from everyone who built a website using their service.

A tenant farmer is an individual that farms on a piece of land that they do not own and gives a part of each crop as rent in return for the land.<ref>Oxford Dictionary Definition of Sharecropper.

Facebook's users, for example, exchange their privacy and personal data for use of the free service. This understanding of 3rd party dependence lead to Douglass Rushkoff's to point out "Ask a kid what Facebook is for and they'll answer 'it's there to help me make friends'. Facebook's boardroom isn't talking about how to make Johnny more friends. It's talking about how to monetize Johnny's social graph".<ref>Rushkoff, Douglass. Speech at the Hello Etsy conference. Berlin, Germany. 17 Sept 2011.</ref>

			The problem with 3rd party data hosting is that those who host their data on 3rd party sites are subject to the lifetime of that service. The lifetime of 3rd party services on the Internet is often short. A site may close down, stop providing a service, become merged with or acquired by another company, or may change its user interface, all leading to user disorientation or a sudden loss of data.
