“#Dataportability is the ability of a user to receive their personal data, by downloading it in a format that would be transferable to other platforms. This could include friends or connections, comments, photos, likes, and their social graph. [Like the] ability to move telephone n°s from one provider to another, which was mandated by the Telecommunications Act of 1966.
The #Utah #DigitalChoiceAct mandates portability practices for your personal data and #socialgraph.”

Digital autonomy ?

"Australia’s digital policy shouldn’t be dictated by large platforms or external geopolitical actors."

"The “digital sovereignty” movement in the European Union (EU) can show us the way. European countries are gradually breaking up with American tech giants and pushing for local AI development, all in the name of achieving digital autonomy."

"The ultimate goal here is digital autonomy. It means reducing reliance on systems vulnerable to growing geopolitical and economic risks. If you make your own devices and host your data locally, you’re not at the mercy of multinational corporations whose interests may not align with your own."

"Decentralised social media ecosystems allow independently operated communities to communicate across shared protocols without being controlled by a single corporation. One such example is the Fediverse, which includes platforms like micro-blogging site Mastodon and video sharing site PeerTube." >>

Federated Networks (The Fediverse):

But in Bellingen, NSW they are clinging to foreign owned platforms. Here communication communicates via facebook or its is not. (Could be a Niklas Luhmann quote)

I’m excited to share my latest article on why Open Source data portability is more than a technical feature: It’s a freedom issue and a competitive advantage.

When organizations can move their data without friction, they gain more control, reduce lock-in, and create better long-term options for innovation and growth.

🚀 NEW on We ❤️ Open Source 🚀

Kevin D. Korte makes the case that open source without data portability is incomplete freedom.

Open formats, clear APIs, and strong documentation help users move freely and projects work better together.

New blog post.

Local-first iOS apps respecting privacy and not treating users and their data as a commodity are rare and few. I have been cataloging such apps, and here’s a list.

If you know of other similar mobile apps, please share them. Thanks!

WordPress Needs Better Export Support. You can do almost anything with your data from self-hosted WordPress, but if you're with WordPress (com), you're out of luck unless you pay for a business plan 😢 Please fix this, Automattic! #wordpress #dataportability
