<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.
