Nadia suggested to modify the "grant direct access" bit with:

Users should be explicitly given the opportunity to make an informed decision about who has direct access to their data […]

however, this is a problem because the user data manifesto does not cover cases beyong what a user has done.

For instance:

I use a service or a local program that lets me share a file with Bob. I decide to grant Bob direct access to that data, but once Bob has the data, how can the service/program control Bob's own decision to let Alice access the data?

In our current version: I can only control granting direct access to Bob, but I cannot control Bob's own control. If we were to choose Nadia's version, then that means I could also control Bob's actions to grant access to others.

In other words: we assume that the software or the service should treat all users equally and not treat one user better because this is the "original" user.

However, it does not mean that a user should not be able to express their intent, through a license for instance. But the system should not enforce the license (because that's DRM). Humans should enforce licences, not technological systems.

Thus I'm sticking to the current version:

Data explicitly and willingly uploaded by a user should be under the
ultimate control of the user. Users should be able to decide whom to grant
direct access to their data and with which permissions and licenses such
access should be granted.

Hi,

The ikiwiki "po" plugin that we use for translations is quite buggy. I am considering removing the plugin and enable translations manually.

The difference for translators is that intead of editing a "po" file, you'll simply write the translation in a
normal file.

What do you think?

Data received, generated, and/or collected from users’ activity while using the service (e.g. metadata or social graph data) should be made accessible to them and put under their control as well. If this control can’t be given, then this type of data should be anonymous or not stored for periods longer than necessary.

Can we actually come up with examples where this control can't be given? cc @karlitschek

Right now when you go to http://userdatamanifesto.org/2.0/ it's not clear at all that the actual manifesto is a bit longer than this ;-)

The link to the wiki should be better described maybe? or shold we add a button "Read More"? That's a design decision ;-) cc @jancborchardt

we need to think about design when we launch 2.0

The current one is good, but not enough text is there :-)

Hello. I just wrote about User Data Manifesto 2.0 on my Greek tech blog, DJDB.me. I'd lke to contribute to the project by translating the manifesto in Greek. Since i'm new to Github (and it looks a bit complicated, since i'm not a developer), which .po files should i translate and how/where should i upload the translated ones?

Thanks in advance!
