Social Data Ownership

Social Networks And Data Ownership by Mayo JordanovMayo Jordanov (Mayo Jordanov)

Asking about data ownership is the right direction, but the question shouldn’t by why the users don’t get money in return, but rather why can’t they view or control all of their data.

....

We should not be demanding to get paid, just because Facebook makes money off our data, but instead, we should be demanding full visibility into our data. What they have, when it was collected, and who it was shared with.

I think this is the right way to look at this.
