Say I am running a social network. I want to allow my users to give access to their own damn data to third parties. I want them to be able to use third party chat UIs. This is precisely why I keep pounding on the idea that "Trusted Execution" technologies need to be turned around 180 degrees. It's intimately tied tot he idea of privacy. It's horrible when governments and big companies have "privacy" but use their power to strip individuals of it. Likewise, it's a public good for individuals to have privacy, and for governments and big companies to be transparent. Likewise, it's horrible when big companies turn "Trusted Execution" against individuals -- this is DRM. However, it would be a tremendous good if the voting public got some laws passed requiring big companies to subject themselves to Trusted Execution technologies when handling customer data. Doing this would give individuals the keys to control their own personal information.
