How does solid solve the social problem of what happens to copied data once it leaves the user's control?
>Users can specify who has access to what data with granular precision, using simple statements like “Alice can read this document” or “Bob can write to this folder.”
After this Alice and Bob have a copy of the data, and you end up still having to solve the social problem of preventing Alice and Bob from abusing their copy of the data by selling it to data brokers.
Solid would only work to centralize the attack surface. You now have one centralized data store with all the information about a person, and all tech giants would employ every dark pattern to extract this data. This is not an improvement, considering that every digital citizen has undergone years of conditioning to ignore permission requests.
