Is this a thing? Something about private data on AT Proto, where a person could purchase content and have a copy of said content injected into their Private Data, so it could not be removed without their consent? I’m thinking “I’ve bought a copy of a book, and now the book blob lives in my PDS”

Private, non-shared data in repo? · bluesky-social atproto · Discussion #3363
I have a use-case for keeping private data in a repo, i.e. data that does not leave the repo via the standard sharing mechanisms, and before I leap into modifying the code to support it, I'd li...

Swedish data brokers claim journalists’ legal protection to evade EU law
Thanks to a loophole in national law, data brokers can exempt their business from EU privacy law. This enables the uncontrolled sale of the personal data of millions of people in Sweden
Nonrivalry and the Economics of Data
(September 2020) - Data is nonrival: a person's location history, medical records, and driving data can be used by many firms simultaneously. Nonrivalry leads to increasing returns. As a result, there may be social gains to data being used broadly across firms, even in the presence of privacy considerations. Fearing creative destruction, firms may choose to hoard their data, leading to the inefficient use of nonrival data. Giving data property rights to consumers can generate allocations that are close to optimal. Consumers balance their concerns for privacy against the economic gains that come from selling data broadly.

@masnick.com I’m listening to your interview with @reckless.bsky.social. This third party doctrine is interesting. Do you think that atproto data would be considered properly owned by the account individual? Would be interesting implications if that public data fall under search and seizure rights.
Mostly withholding judgement on @attie.ai but an important question for me that I haven’t seen asked: Are the primitives atproto records? Will the non-public parts be stored in permissioned repos? Can I ship an Attie competitor that uses all of the users’ same data without touching Attie itself?
