   I spoke with The Guardian for a podcast recently and it’s now live: Digital dystopia: tech slavery and the death of privacy.

   “Is the internet broken? And has the utopian 90s net been replaced by digital feudalism, where a few powerful entities wield control over all of us digital serfs? … To kick off, we explore whether our privacy has been compromised by the tech giants whose business models depend on harvesting and monetising our data.“

      @aral If Kevin Kelly doesn't own data then does he own the books he's written? What about the Wired articles? Does he own his blog? Does he own his birth certificate or passport, if it's all just data? It strikes me as being odd to claim that nobody can or should own data.
