GDPR demands it and it's good PR.
I think it’s a bit more nuanced - they’re all giving people a full copy of their data, but you can’t do much with that on say FB> Twitter.
This to me smells like preemptive action against legislation. Sort of the companies choosing which limb or organ to give up instead of dictated by legislation
...by having us control it for them.
Seriously though, the more they repeat this line the less it convinces me. It simply isn't in their interest to give people _actual_ control over their data, so why would they?
