I mean this percentage-wise, vs the technology etc.
¤%%link;;{½3;but can companies just flee to another juristiction where this law doesn't apply?
¤%%link;;{½3;so there should be some law that graduate the ownership
¤%%link;;{½3;ofc. small startups shouldn't be owned by users right away
¤%%link;;{½3;but at least it's possible to reverse engineer this - e.g. for compatibility with Libreoffice/Openoffice
¤%%link;;{½3;though one can argue that the text-file format lock-in makes users valueable
¤%%link;;{½3;e.g.: Microsoft Word doesn't gain its primary value from users
¤%%link;;{½3;how is this different from other types of technology?
¤%%link;;{½3;and let users own their own data, so they can move it if they want
¤%%link;;{½3;which would lead to ownership possibly going back to company
¤%%link;;{½3;which means that ownership of platform wouldn't need to change
¤%%link;;{½3;and the platforms got interoperable (which Yanis also mentions)
¤%%link;;{½3;otoh. if the users got control over their own data on these platforms
¤%%link;;{½3;my argument: this should mean that the users should begin owning the platform, the more users there are
¤%%link;;{½3;.. so the more users there is, the more the value is the users
¤%%link;;{½3;social media platforms gain their value primarily from their users
¤%%link;;{½3;I then got reminded of some thoughts I had a bunch of years ago, by what Yanis said about "socialization of platforms"
¤%%link;;{½3;.. where the discussion and analysis was pretty general about social media platforms too
