“It’s a symbiotic relationship”
Sorry, you’ll have to do a bit better than that. Many of us are old enough to have owned and driven vehicles quite well with no automated telemetry. The same can’t be said for account-based online social networks, which have always required user data to fundamentally function.
The notion that it's OK for me to be forced to send such data to others seems extreme to me.
I do object to thinking it has precedent. This is a new situation that is going to get bigger with iot.
This issue is precisely why I won't be buying any IoT device that requires the use of a third-party server, which currently means any commercial IoT devices.
I don't know why you say this, though, when you are arguing that I should be.
> because you are somehow related to the data you get ownership.
In the absence of a compelling reason otherwise, I demand such ownership.
I don't see that data as anyway owned by you, you might have rights to aspects of it, but in no way can you demand ownership over something you don't own.
Because it is data about me that I'm generating personally, on my own personal equipment. That data is literally nobody else's business unless I choose to share it.
What you are saying is that users don't have a choice in the matter.
I do not think just because you are involved in creating data that means it is yours. When you give data to the census that isn't your data... when you click an ad and buy something that data isn't your data... I just don't get this notion that data is yours because you are involved in its creation. There is data about you that might be private or personal and should have protections, but the notion that data you have a role in creating is yours seems extreme.
