The service that always worries me is TurboTax Online. I find it hard
to believe that so many people are willing to upload all their financial
data to a web site.
On the other hand, many personal computer users probably don't keep
adequate backups, so the data is probably much safer if it's uploaded to
a professionally-managed web site. Stallman and his disciples are much
more tech-savvy, so what's best for him may not be best for randoms.
