Solid: Data ownership as well as improved privacy (2017)

I'm a little concerned about their security model though:

As of a very recent conversation, they seem to be ok with password being known by POD providers, which would make your data owned by the POD, not you.

I was trying to encourage them to use E2EE with our security tool that several other big dApps in the industry have adopted: (d.tube, notabug.io, Internet Archive, etc.)

The only person who seemed interested was Tim Berners-Lee himself when I talked to him, and Ruben.

If either of you, or anyone else in the team see this, PLEASE please contact me urgently, I'm still willing to contribute, but when I tried nobody else seemed to care.

For data ownership to really matter users/consumers need to be able to bargain on equal terms with companies, probably collectively.

I just don't think this is ever going to work, because this form of decentralisation just doesn't scale. The complexity that comes with separating data and computation and the standards and protocols that need to be invented to get everyone to talk to each other just don't provide enough utility.

We've put data into companies and silos becaues there's actually value to this division of labour. The hierarchies that Solid and others try to combat emerge naturally.

solid, another centralized repository, has the same problem like facebook or more dangerous. because user data is more centralized.
