Why we should end the data economy
People should own the data about them, and should be free to rent or trade usage of it to companies in exchange for money or services.  Actual ownership should continue to rest with the person, however, who can revoke access the same way that a landlord can evict tenants or a worker can quit.<p>The biggest barrier to this has been that lots of valuable data (eg. Facebook&#x27;s social graph, Android contact data) is data about <i>relationships</i> between people, not the people themselves, and so would logically have multiple owners.  But that&#x27;s not really a big barrier with modern technology: the crypto world solved multi-person ownership with multisig wallets several years ago.
