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

In the context of a social network, what a user can have and should
have is _control over access to the data she puts in_.

For people in a country with rule of law, usually the best control
is achieved by keeping that data in her own computer.  If it is
in a computer belonging to Google or Facebook, and they tell you
that it is in the US, that does you very little good in terms
of controlling access to it.

    *** I can't speak for the FSF nor for the GNU project, but you're very
    welcome to the GNU/consensus.

That statement is not clear.  What does it mean?
Are you talking about that person, or his manifesto?

GNU consensus cannot support that manifesto in its current form,
because it conflicts with ideas of the GNU Project.
