<h1>FSFE supports recognition for User Data Rights</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>FSFE supports the publication of the <a href="https://userdatamanifesto.org/">User
|
|
Data Manifesto 2.0</a>, which aims at defining basic rights for
|
|
people to control their own data in the internet age. The
|
|
manifesto is published today and also supported by GNOME, KDE,
|
|
Netzpolitik.org, ownCloud, Spreed, “Terms of Service - Didn’t
|
|
Read” and X-Lab.

Today, users are increasingly using online services to perform
|
|
their daily computing, whether it is for social networking,
|
|
for collaboration, or for sharing pictures, among many other
|
|
activities. Thus, users are losing control over their own data
|
|
more than ever.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
According to the User Data Manifesto, people should have:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li><strong>Control</strong> over user data access,</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Knowledge</strong> of how user data is stored,
|
|
and which laws or jurisdictions apply.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Freedom</strong> to choose a platform, without
|
|
experiencing vendor lock-in. FSFE believes that Free Software
|
|
is necessary to guarantee this.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
“The recognition of the User Data Rights defined in the
|
|
manifesto is an important block to build a free society in the
|
|
digital age“ says Hugo Roy, deputy coordinator of FSFE’s Legal
|
|
Team and coauthor of the User Data Manifesto.
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
“The freedoms to use, share, study and improve software that
|
|
we use in our lives is a necessity not only for programs on
|
|
our local machines, but also for the programs that run online
|
|
services processing our data” according to Björn Schießle,
|
|
deputy coordinator of FSFE’s German Team.
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The manifesto is a good starting point for an important debate
|
|
about users’ rights online. FSFE looks forward to other
|
|
organisations joining the effort to promote online services
|
|
that respects users’ rights and freedoms.
