Hello there! I agree users may want one or both of these features in their interaction with an application, and that their preferences likely vary depending on the type of data we're considering. The way I'm reading what you're saying, there's some sort of tension or tradeoff between the two features that I don't fully understand. Can you help me understand it a bit better? Thank you!
I was thinking more along the lines of how I want the ability to export my data into something machine readable, and then delete it from the server. This allows for most conveniences and flexibility on the authors part to be available, but still provides the user with control over the data.
I think I just wanted to communicate that on the spectrum between no ownership and what your approach proposes, I'm less of a maximalist.
Thank you for the piece and the reply.
