What does owning your data look like then? Files on my computer?

Owning my data means I can search the Internet and choose my recommendations without my behavioral telemetry choosing them for me.

Owning my data means I can syndicate the content of family, friends and mentors without my ad cookie cache, the speed I scroll the page, my geographic region and my age being weaponized to maximize my click-through-rate, session starts and session duration.

Owning my data means I live in a world where my devices and my platforms are use-agnostic— where they value me abandoning my screen to go hike a mountain the same as gluing my eyeballs to one.

Owning my data means I decide the machine the metrics of my life get assembled into. I am not the unwitting, unpaid Transformer in an oligopolist’s dystopian comic franchise— required to submit to assembly into the latest AI-CRM-KPI monstrosity from my cradle to my grave.

That’s what owning my data looks like.

Chocolate rainmaker. Singer. Thinker. Voice

Still not understanding what this is practically. Is Farcaster me owning my data?
