No. Those are paid cloud services. You can generally block them with no ill 
effect, if you don’t want an application reporting anything to The Mother Ship. 
(Unless, of course, it’s an application whose purpose is cloud computing, like 
sharing databases among devices, etc.)

I do my own “cloud.” I don’t need no steenkeen Shamazon holding my data.
