What if Big Tech embraced the user-owned web — not to empower users, but to quietly rebuild control under the banner of openness? The last article of my mini series reveals the playbook of re-centralization and the safeguards Europe must deploy now.

This document is Part 1 of the User-Owned Web series. Following the conceptual introduction (“Two Roads to the User-Owned Web”), it explores how control, value, and innovation shift when users—not platforms—own their data. Solid, ActivityPub, and similar user-owned web architectures serve as examples of this broader paradigm.

Power Dynamics of the User-Owned Data Economy

The shift toward a user-owned data economy is transforming the foundations of digital power. When users control their data instead of platforms, technology, markets, and regulation begin to realign.

The web we know is efficient—but fragile. Power and innovation have drifted away from users and into platforms.

A new generation of open architectures - ActivityPub, Solid, and beyond - offers a way to take control back.

My latest article, “Roads to the User-Owned Web,” launches a 3-part series on how these models could reshape digital autonomy in Europe.

Roads to the User-Owned Web
