http://userdatamanifesto.org/ proposes 8 points "defining basic rights
for people to control their own data in the internet age"

I'd like to reach consensus on officially supporting this manifesto:

1. Own the data
The data that someone directly or indirectly creates belongs to the
person who created it.

2. Know where the data is stored
Everybody should be able to know: where their personal data is
physically stored, how long, on which server, in what country, and what
laws apply.

3. Choose the storage location
Everybody should always be able to migrate their personal data to a
different provider, server or their own machine at any time without
being locked in to a specific vendor.

4. Control access
Everybody should be able to know, choose and control who has access to
their own data to see or modify it.

5. Choose the conditions
If someone chooses to share their own data, then the owner of the data
selects the sharing license and conditions.

6. Invulnerability of data
Everybody should be able to protect their own data against surveillance
and to federate their own data for backups to prevent data loss or for
any other reason.

7. Use it optimally
Everybody should be able to access and use their own data at all times
with any device they choose and in the most convenient and easiest way
for them.

8. Server software transparency
Server software should be free and open source software so that the
source code of the software can be inspected to confirm that it works as
specified.
