Re: [GNU/consensus] [RFC][SH] User Data Manifesto

    The idea is that this is the stuff that I type into my computer
    before I consciously decide to release it under a specific license
    or share it with someone.

I think it is a mistake to focus on whether you "typed it into your
computer" or not.  Who wrote it -- if anyone -- is irrelevant to
privacy concerns.  What's relevant is that the system got that data
from you.

I suggest something like this.

 If you place data in a storage facility, or it gets data from you,
 you should control access to that data.

I don't have time for the other questions now -- I have to leave
that to others to suggest answers to.
