Personal data: The user is the sole owner

In today’s world, marked by the massive dynamics of social networks and the Internet, our personal data is a luxury commodity. Social platforms are free, but we pay for them with our information. So, in this virtual world we are merchandise and data has value. Generally, in those spaces we do not have absolute control over them.

However, this reality has begun to change. In recent years, initiatives have emerged that take into account, as one of their essential elements, that users must have true and absolute control over their personal information. Each person decides what data they share and with whom.

Solid: Tim Berners-Lee’s bet to change the web

One of the most innovative projects on the subject of users having control over their information is the Tim Berners-Lee’s, the father of the World Wide Web. We are talking about the open source platform «Solid» that comes from Social Linked Data.

Berners-Lee began to develop it together with researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

Solid is a technology, like the Web, but a new level of standard which adds to existing protocols to make it more powerful, particularly to empower individuals at home and at work.

  • Balance: The essential purpose of the platform is to build an ecosystem of reliable data for users and companies.
