Re: [GNU/consensus] [RFC][SH] User Data Manifesto

[Frank Karlitschek]

Hi,

let's try to create a version 2 of the manifesto together. I created a draft 1 
based on the feedback.
So What do you think?

User data manifesto V2 draft 1

Changeslog:

- Add a remark to 3. that it is recommended to have an own server for the 
personal data.
- Removed "open source" so that only "free software" is in point 8.
- Replaced "Invulnerability of data" with "Protect the data from loss" 
- Replaced "own data" with "personal data"

----------------
1. Control the personal data
The data that someone directly or indirectly creates belongs to the person who 
created it.

2. Know where the data is stored
Everybody should be able to know: where their personal data is physically 
stored, how long, on which server, in what country, and what laws apply.

3. Choose the storage location
Everybody should always be able to migrate their personal data to a different 
provider, server or their own machine at any time without being locked in to a 
specific vendor. It is recommended to have the personal server for the personal 
data in the long term.
 
4. Control access
Everybody should be able to know, choose and control who has access to their 
personal data to see or modify it.

5. Choose the conditions
If someone chooses to share their personal data, then the user selects the 
sharing license and conditions.

6. Protect the data from loss
Everybody should be able to protect their personal data against surveillance 
and to federate their personal data for backups to prevent data loss or for any 
other reason.

7. Use it optimally
Everybody should be able to access and use their personal data at all times 
with any device they choose and in the most convenient and easiest way for them.

8. Server software transparency
Server software should be free software so that the source code of the software 
can be inspected to confirm that it works as specified.
