Data Portability - a Move Towards Making Your Personal and Private Data Work With All Social Networking Sites (comments)
The rise in social networking has created an information management and overload problem for many users known as the "Data Portability" problem. The problem starts with authentication, includes having data (profile data, media or otherwise) in several different sites and in different versions, and is compounded by the fortress mentality of many social networking sites. These factors make it difficult for users to manage their online identity and control who sees, at what level of granularity, their personal data. The data portability movement is meant to make this easier. On the other hand, it may also make it easier for social networking sites to buy, sell, and use your data. So how come nobody is talking about the privacy concerns inherent with data portability?
