'We need to talk about digital ownership.

You might have been told you should seek to "own your own data". That the
future of the web itself is the prophesied "ownership era", which will follow
the "read" and "write" eras we've experienced to date. That creators online
need to "own their audiences" rather than remain beholden to Big Tech
platforms.

But what is ownership online? What should it be?

In reality, people who talk about digital ownership are often talking about
vastly different concepts, which muddies the waters. It would be helpful if
instead they described precisely what rights they're trying to ensure.

Let's talk about a few types of ownership by specifically identifying the types
of rights involved.'
