Carey Lening :blobcatverified:<p>Ever think 'Data Portability' could be about more than just exporting data? What if we could use data portability as a way to curate what companies know about us? </p><p>In my latest post, I argue that it's time to rethink and reframe data portability for our dynamic digital lives. 🔗<a href="https://careylening.substack.com/p/the-right-to-data-portability-is" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">careylening.substack.com/p/the</span><span class="invisible">-right-to-data-portability-is</span></a> </p><p>After all, we are not static creatures; our likes, dislikes, names and even our identities evolve. So should our digital profiles. What if GDPR’s data portability right also allowed for easy data curation? </p><p>I argue that it's time to actually empower users by giving them the tools to easily and selectively modify their digital records to reflect who they truly are. If we extend the power of data portability to data (im)portability, this could make controlling our digital narratives as simple as a few mouse clicks. No more deadnaming. No more permanent awkward, painful memories. </p><p>The ability to curate what companies know about us, easily and painlessly may make it easier to reshape our relationship with Big Tech. Instead of hostility, we could aim for trust and accuracy.
