Data Transfer Project: New Facebook Data Portability Tool Let Users Transfer Their Photos and Videos to Google Photos

#Fosdem #GDPR #DataTransferProject is about exporting not apis to access hosted private resouces vs #CaliOpen managing user timeline

Uff... Acabo de descubrir el #DataTransferProject https://datatransferproject.dev/ y entiendo que algunas #GAFAM se están montando su ActivityPub

Quisiera informarme más, así que si tenéis enlaces al respecto, será de agradecer.

#Google, #Facebook, #Twitter & #Microsoft, as a result of #GDPR, launch their #OpenSource #DataTransferProject to let you port your data among them.

But don't be fooled. Even if this becomes functional one day, it would still not change the fact that each one of them is a walled garden with #proprietary #centralized platforms fighting to become hegemonic in order to mine your private data.

Light years away from #FreeSoftware, #federated, open standard platforms.

The Data Transfer Project (https://datatransferproject.dev/) is definitely a progress in positive direction. Especially after open standards were kinda forgotten in public discourse for about 2 decades. But it's worth reminding that data portability is only a precursor to data interoperability or, better yet, federation. Ideally, the data would be completely decoupled from the services using them as e.g. https://solid.mit.edu/ aims to achieve.
