# user data manifesto
defining basic rights for people to control their own data in the
internet age
1. Control of user data access
The data that the user stores should be under control of this
person. Users should be able to decide whom to grant
direct access to their data and under which permissions.
[What happens when the data is used by somebody else, e.g.
creating a thread of discussion. Should the original user have
a right to withdraw the content? The doc focuses on data,
maybe we should leave the "social relations" bit out of it.]
2. Know where the data is stored
Users should be able to know: where their data is physically
stored, how long, in what country, and what laws apply. It is
recommended that all users have their own server in the long
term.
3. Right to leave
Users should always be able to extract and delete their
data at any time without being locked in to a specific
service.
For this, open standards for formats and protocoles are
a necessity.
5. Protect the data from loss
Everybody should be able to protect their data against
surveillance and to federate their data for backups to prevent
data loss or for any other reason.
[?: should it be there?]
7. Server software distribution
Server software should be distributed as Free Software so that
the source code can be inspected, replicated and modified.
[?: Let's explain here exactly why Free Software is important
to build a true distributed Internet.]
[The distinction between server and client should go.]
[Note: I think we should have less points. Ideally 4. The details
should then be laid out in explanations below the points. A little
bit like http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html ]
