Re:WhatsApp told to stop sharing user data with Facebook by ... by PeterisP on Tuesday December 19, 2017 @02:41PM (#15963448)
The legal concept is that despite having the data in your physical possession and control, you're not allowed to do whatever you want with it, and you have to ask the user's permission for many specific use cases.

This means that for a colloquial understanding of "owning data", you don't own it (since you can't do what you want) but they do (since they can limit the uses to what they want).
