My best guess is the GDPR:
> To further strengthen the control over his or her own data, where the processing of personal data is carried out by automated means, the data subject should also be allowed to receive personal data concerning him or her which he or she has provided to a controller in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable and interoperable format, and to transmit it to another controller. Data controllers should be encouraged to develop interoperable formats that enable data portability. [...] Where technically feasible, the data subject should have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another. [1]
To me this sounds pretty similar to what we can see on Github.
