As soon as you grant access to some data in your pod to someone, they can make a copy and then it's out of your control. I don't see how you can govern it unless you just never grant access.
- erikpukinskis 7y agoYou still control the original and they control the copy. If it’s hosted on their service you don’t control anything.
- mkl 7y agoThe copy is identical, so I think functionally there's no difference between those. Your data is out of your control either way.
- erikpukinskis 7y agoSo you’re saying “they have the only copy of my data” and “we both have a copy of my data” are equivalent in your mind?
- mkl 7y agoThe problematic bit is "they have a copy of my data", which is in common between the two.
- theK 7y agoI think people misunderstand the base idea here. The way I see it is that in a SaaS (non solid) world you don’t actually have your data. Access to you own data can be revoked by third parties you don’t have any leverage over. In a solid world no one can separate you from your data. And, ideally, cloud outfits asking for your data won’t be asking to resell your data.
- anderspitman 7y agoIt might make it easier to regulate. If you revoke access and can prove you own the pod the data originated from, it provides a way for a sort of "individual DMCA".
