When people say you should "own your own data", or that the future of the web is "ownership", what does that mean?

We need to talk about digital ownership.

@molly0xfff really excellent, clarifying essay. I explored some of these dynamics in a more rigidly academic context here, which may or may not be of use: https://mediarxiv.org/np325

@molly0xfff Spot on. This is why I’ve been trying to reframe it as an issue of personhood. When those of us who aren’t trying to sell you something talk about ‘owning your own data’ we mean it in the sense that no one else should own it; in the same way you ‘own’ yourself in a free society – in that no one else owns you. Not because you want to sell yourself but because human dignity demands it.

@molly0xfff
there is a lot to unpack here, but I really like the approach.

@Daojoan it reminded me of your recent article on copyright.
