You're using a unique definition of "follow". If someone else walks
out of a restaurant as you enter it, do you say "Stop following me"?
The GNU Project follows a policy of rejecting the term "cloud
computing", or "cloud" for short.

I agree, and in https://gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html you'll
see we hardly condemn all the things that some call "cloud computing".
On the contrary, we say that those things are different issues: some are ok,
some are bad, so _let's not mix them up_.
