One of the worst things about free speech discourse is how people don't understand that you don't get those protections on a private server. The owner determines whatever fucking content they want on their property. This is why you should support federation and decentralization.
You don't "own" your data on the public square either
-
-
You don't? How so?
-
People see your face, somebody always knows your name. With your name and your face it's pretty easy to find the rest of the data through public archives
-
This isn't the same as 'data' though. When people see your name and face in a public sphere, you're not being recorded and aren't supposed to be without your consent. This of course varies and could itself use better protections but we live in a panopticon.
-
Yeah you're not supposed to be recorded by electronics but the human camera is always pointing at you
-
We're getting into some very abstract territory here, but either way a memory someone has of you isn't an object that can be copied and shared with near-perfect accuracy and withheld or sold by a third party.
-
>you can't sell a memory Espionage and snitching in general are pretty lucrative
-
Not the same thing, at that point it becomes something that was recorded and goes back to what I was just saying that you're not really supposed to be recorded without your consent (again, even though there are inadequate protections for this + gov does what it wants anyways).
