If I follow you on Twitter or give you access to my contact info on that platform, do you have the right to export and import into another platform? I think thats a core question that we have not collectively answered.
- kelnos 5y agoIf you give me something that I can read with my eyeballs, then I don't think you should have the right to tell me what I can and can't do with that (absent copyright, or some sort of NDA or other agreement). Certainly you (or the platform you are using) can put technical measures in place to make it hard for me to do automatic manipulation of that data, but I don't think "the right" has anything to do with it.
- jdmichal 5y ago> ... absent copyright, or some sort of NDA or other agreement. I'm pretty sure the caveats you started listing here are exactly the type of interesting question the person you're responding to was trying to invoke. For instance, in the US, if you are my healthcare provider and are granted access to my medical records, the answer is that you can only do a very restricted set of things with that data. Because we -- the US society -- have decided to create "another agreement" called HIPAA. There's all sorts of stuff like this. GDPR. PCI-DSS. Government-classified information. Anything your company sends out that's marked confidential. These agreements that you so quickly dismiss are exactly where the interesting conversations around data seem to be happening.
