Data portability “As users, our identity, photos, videos and other forms of personal data should be discoverable by, and shared between our chosen (and trusted) tools or vendors. We need a DHCP for Identity. A distributed File System for data. The technologies already exist, we simply need a complete reference design to put the pieces together.”

Data portability principles ● We want control over the profiles, relationships, content and media we create and maintain, regardless of what platform they are hosted on ● We want open formats, APIs, protocols and policies for the data we control ● We want to protect user rights and privacy ● We will recommend existing standards wherever possible rather than inventing new ones
