my notes ( ? )
Overview of efforts to put data back into the hands of people. "platforms’ business models depend on network effects and scale to keep users engaged and to sell more advertising... a culture of virality that... poisons public discourse." Moreover, their data dominance is stifling competition & innovation. " So trustbusters are on the warpath... Any solution must make data more evenly accessible so that potential rivals can grow."
How? Combining collective action, empowered individuals and government - eg
- subscription-based social media
- Inrupt: people use datapods to own and share their data
- Indian financial service “account aggregators” obtain owners’ consent as alternative to Ant Financial
- collective “unions that bargain on behalf of groups of people for a share of the income generated from the use of their data."
- EU Data Act 2021 & antitrust
