#2What grand times we live in, where you can actually get this kind of data from the services that you use.
Having the law say your personal data is owned by you and not some company just because it's on their server may turn out to be a landmark in consumer friendly legislation!

#3This is great. I wonder if the EU can write a law to allow us to see what adverts are being served to which audiences on platforms like Facebook and Google. More transparency please.

#4Confusing title. I thought there was some horrible bug that sent a 250MB file every time you clicked something! After reading the tweet I realize it’s saying the 250MB file contains every interaction.

Interesting.
Can they still sell it if it's owned by you?
They are collecting and storing it, for sure. What limitations do they have from there?
Also, how would the government patrol this without having access to all companies databases, servers, and policies?

#6It's kind of weird (and worrying tbh) that the user doesn't get _all_ the data by default. Shouldn't all the data be sent upon request, is there a clause saying 'only after nagging the TRUE data will be sent?

They have to ask me if they can use it and for what purpose. And even better, they can’t condition the use of the site/product on me accepting that they sell it.

That sounds good. How is it enforced?
