Preamble:
There are already many who support the ideas laid out in this Bill of Rights, but we are actively seeking to grow the roster of those publicly backing the principles and approaches it outlines. That said, this Bill of Rights is not a document “carved in stone” (or written on paper). It is a blog post, and it is intended to spur conversation and debate, which will naturally lead to tweaks of the language. So, let’s get the dialogue going and get as many of the major stakeholders on board as we can!
A Bill of Rights for Users of the Social Web
Authored by Joseph Smarr, Marc Canter, Robert Scoble, and Michael Arrington
September 4, 2007
We publicly assert that all users of the social web are entitled to certain fundamental rights, specifically:
- Ownership of their own personal information, including:
- their own profile data
- the list of people they are connected to
- the activity stream of content they create;
- Control of whether and how such personal information is shared with others; and
- Freedom to grant persistent access to their personal information to trusted external sites.
Sites supporting these rights shall:
- Allow their users to syndicate their own profile data, their friends list, and the data that’s shared with them via the service, using a persistent URL or API token and open data formats;
- Allow their users to syndicate their own stream of activity outside the site;
- Allow their users to link from their profile pages to external identifiers in a public way; and
- Allow their users to discover who else they know is also on their site, using the same external identifiers made available for lookup within the service.

woohoo. sign me up. i love the direction this is going. the more social networks i participate in, the more i need some standards of openness and portability.
i’ve recently written on my own experience with facebook blocking my ability to message members of my own group, among other criticisms.

Mmmmm, microformats.
Comment by Baratunde Thurston — September 5, 2007 @ 6:22 am |
Might I add another bold bullet point?
transparency (in human-readable form) about the operating rules governing social websites. Those running social networks, for example, should outline clearly what is prohibited and what classifies a user as spam. Having features disabled or accounts closed is worse than losing an address book because there is no mechanism to backup your messages, connections, etc (at least not until there are more open standards defining these attributes and activities).

Comment by Marco — September 5, 2007 @ 6:28 am |
I think you’re confusing “rights” with “facilitators”.
Re: “using a persistent URL or API token and open data formats;”
Why should all social media sites *have* to have some standardized token? Advocating for something to be “open format” sounds deceptively democratic and free, but what if it isn’t? What if it leads to harassment, thefy, invasion, or merely the loss of integrity or immersion? Social media sites should have the right to remain walled gardens with proprietary systems if they want. Indeed, ironically, such systems might be better protectors of people’s privacy and integrity that “openness” that is supposed to “facilitate” but winds up doing stuff like spamming all your email address book with Quechep invitations.
Example: my Second Life avatar name I wanted to use on Facebook is stolen by a griefer just because he can. It has no integrity, no rights accrue to it unless I go through the arduous process of trademarking it.
It might be that balancing control of personal data versus facilitation isn’t an issue of “rights”; it’s an issue of political judgement, social consensus, and should be democratically decided in different communities for different purposes, not set in stone as “the law”.
Comment by Prokofy Neva — September 5, 2007 @ 6:39 am |
Baratunde’s right…there’s no revenue-restricting reason for any social website to be opaque, is there? Rule transparency should be minimum table stakes for any social network.

I find this proposal consistent with people’s privacy rights entrenched in constitutions, bills of rights and (sort of implied in Australia who does not have a bill of rights) and as such should be applauded.
As mentioned this is a blog post and as such is not entrenched in legislation, it mirrors the original “bill of rights” from England where this was proposed legislation and people’s intentions. This is not an “entrenched bill of rights” meaning that it has no legal weight and is merely a code that some people support.
For this to be enforceable it would need to be an entrenched bill of rights which exists as a separate legal instrument that falls outside of the normal jurisdiction of a country’s legislative body (thanks wikipedia)
The web does not have any infrastructure to support giving legal weight to whatever final wording is decided upon. I think that instead of having a “bill of rights” as such you should have a petition of rights which is signed by members of social networks to pressure the owners of these to adhere to the principles entrenched within.
Comment by Andrew — September 5, 2007 @ 6:55 am |
There’s no way policies such as Privacy Policy, TOS, AUP, TOU and etc are going to protect user interests in social networking circles, and definitely we are in need of something like this to make sure we are in total control of our own information (instead of the provider such as Facebook).
I am all in for this Bill!

Seems like common sense to me, but many of the social networks succeed because they are closed systems. I agree with data portability, but doubt many – if any – of the social networks would acquiesce with any of these demands. Companies like Facebook are social networks, yes, but we have to remember that they’re primarily in it for the marketing/advertising opportunities the data in their network presents.

Comment by Emily Chang — September 5, 2007 @ 9:10 am |
Simple request: Let me delete my mails and documents! I detected some weeks ago that on Google Docs, even when I delete documents from the trash, they are only hidden from the UI. Deleted documents continue to exist (proof here: http://www.line-of-reasoning.com/issues/privacy-issue-google-docs-seems-to-not-delete-but-only-hide-documents-when-the-trash-is-emptied/ ).
What if Google would not only have an issue with deletion of documents on Google Docs?
What if also none of your mails would be ever deleted?
What if even a draft of a mail that you wrote but that you never sent and that you even never saved would be still stored on Google Mail because the new Google Mail “auto-save” feature saved it anyhow?
This would be not a problem at all because you have nothing to hide?
You never wrote something where you later were happy that you did not share or sent it to someone (you boss, your wife)?
You would not feel uncomfortable if there is even only a theoretical small chance that people can still at some point get access to this against your will?
I think it is our responsibility as users to put pressure on the service providers to find a solution. Why not create an independent organization that will check architecture/software and will do regular inspections of service providers? They could get in return a label for their homepage , something like “your rights respected”. This would give us users the opportunity to make up our mind upfront and choose wisely what services we would like to use (and make then those services through our usage big and important).

i like some of the basic ideas here (reminds me strongly of the original attention work of gillmor et al) but one serious problem is that we don’t respect others enough. people don’t take any responsibity for: “Control of whether and how such personal information is shared with others” – to whit, the quechup fiasco. Its not just about abusive service providers, but also contacts that don’t fully respect the value of each others details. We’re all publishers. We’re all subscribers.

This is a great initiative.
I feel that you have rightly identified the question of trust as key to opening up the potential of the social web. As it stands, I have 2 concerns about the social web as it currently exists
1. The service providers gather and hold a lot of personal information which they may be tempted to secretly exploit in ways they know I would probably object to. Can we trust them to resist this temptation?
2. The databases in which they hold this information make an attractive trophy target for hackers ( i know , i know, but it was only yesterday that The Pentagon revealed that their systems were breached by Chinese agents). Can we trust hackers to resist this challenge?
Given that stupid questions can sometimes provoke the most interesting answers I wonder if there is a working/workable technical solution that would fragment and spread my profile data and history across a wide variety of locations with each possibly operated by licensed/trusted third parties.
If possible, such a system might confer 2 possible benefits:
1. The trusted third parties could monitor the kind of queries being sent to the databases and recognize if the service providers were making ‘unusual’ queries.
2. Personal data would be spread around several silos making it more tiresome and difficult for hackers to capture and recompile more complete profiles of individuals.
I’d love to hear from anyone who has any ideas how this system might be possible/impossible.

Count me in. Not that I’m some kinda heavy hitter in the social networking world. Simply because I care about intellectual property, openness, portability, and wall-less-ness.

Hi there –
To what extent did Duncan Work’s “A Call for a Social Networking Bill of Rights” from 2004 feed into your thinking on this? It seems like his basic principles pretty well match up with what you’re outlining, but there’s one piece you don’t seem to have touched: “the right to know who is collecting what and for what purposes.”
That right may be implied in what you’ve outlined here, but I think that it certainly merits explicit mention: you have the right to know (and control) *all* the information that the network has on you, not just information that you’ve provided or information that’s deemed “personal,” and you also have the right to know what the network is doing with that information.

The Cyberspace Charter of Rights
Preamble
Electronic technology in the late twentieth century has given rise to a new environment, commonly known as Cyberspace, in which the citizens of the world may freely interact and communicate with each other.
As individuals, corporations and nations inhabit cyberspace, new laws, protocols and practises have demonstrated a potential for new limitations on the rights and liberties enjoyed by free citizens around the world.
It is reasonable and prudent, therefore, to declare those rights we consider essential to the maintenance of a free and open society in Cyberspace.
1. Access
Where access is defined as the capacity to send and receive communications through electronic means, including the internet, and where persons are defined as citizens of any nation, state or territory,
1. All persons have the right to access electronic communications.
2. All persons may send and receive communications from any point on the network.
2. Freedom of Speech
Where ideas and beliefs are the words, images, or other information created by a particular person,
1. CyberCitizens may express any idea or belief without limitation.
2. CyberCitizens may transmit their ideas or beliefs to any person who is willing to receive them.
3. Personal Privacy
Where personal information is information regarding the name, gender, address, nationality, or other information associated with a particular person,
1. CyberCitizens own their personal information.
2. CyberCitizens may at any time regulate the use of their personal information by other persons or parties.
4. Security of Communication
Where communications is the transfer of ideas and beliefs from one place to another,
1. CyberCitizens have the right to secure communication, that is, communication which will not be intercepted, redirected, or otherwise diverted or duplicated.
2. CyberCitizens may communicate in the language of their choice. This includes the right to create a language (for example, by encryption) which cannot be understood by any other party.
3. CyberCitizens may communicate with each other under the identity of their choice, including self-designated handles or pseudonyms, or anonymously.
5. Intellectual Property
Where intellectual property is any idea or belief created by a particular person,
1. CyberCitizens own their own intellectual property.
2. CyberCitizens may at any time regulate the use of their intellectual property by other persons or parties.
6. Reference
Where Reference is the mention of an idea or belief, as in the case of citations, quotations, or links,
1. CyberCitizens may refer to any other person’s intellectual property.
2. CyberCitizens may express their own ideas or beliefs about any other person’s intellectual property.
7. Quiet Enjoyment
Where quiet enjoyment is the use of electronic communications without interruption or interference,
1. CyberCitizens have the right to quiet enjoyment of their own communications system, that is, they shall not be subject to arbitrary search and seizure of their computers or other communications equipment.
2. CyberCitizens may regulate their own communications, that is, they have the right to refuse unsolicited or unwanted communications.

Respect of privacy and defaulting to “sharing the least amount of data possible” when adding new features;
An example of not respecting this would be Facebook’s recent people search feature.
Even though they share very little data (my photo?), this feature should be *off* by default, and users given an incentive to turn it on.

Its a positive effort to build consensus regarding what users prefer in terms of privacy policies, the digital rights management of their indexable data, and the intellectual property of their profiles.
If someone comments on my profile, is that MY comment, since I created the venue? Or, is it, their comment, since they penned it?
There is no single solution. Different paradigms would encourage people to participate along different lines.
Regarding the ‘demands’ of the ‘rights’, I believe this is a little lofty, and I’m a pie-in-the-sky technoanarchist.
If syndicating your profile data became as easy as using feedburner.com, or one click to have an XML copy of your profile data, then, its not needed to force the old sites to comply. Users who want portable data will download their XML format of their data. If service providers don’t provide this feature, a hack, widget, or browser toolbar that scrapes information while logged in will get the data easily. Others will just pull and explicitly format the public data which is not formatted.
Its like saying each blog service provider HAS to support RSS as a matter of principle.
Thats was never necessary. RSS is good enough that blog places that don’t support it aren’t relevant.
No demands are necessary, if the technology facilitates for enough people.
What’s needed is the equivalent of an open source “typepad / wordpress” for Social Publishing, complete with Digital Rights management, syndication ability, and the ability for decentralized indexing.
That takes care of the interface, and the network backend…but, leaves open the issue of “who do you trust with your data, your feed, your URI”?
As many other posters have remarked, there will be the need for one or more ‘trust brokers’ that help people authenticate users and servers that meet the user-policies they wish to adhere to.
The major difference is that the interface, the index catalog, and the trust brokers aren’t all the same people. This lets you choose your favorite interface from facebook, along with tons of data from myspace, but gives you some filters and DRM to control your data’s syndication and your profile’s access.
The social publishing process needs to fragment, then the market will be more healthy regarding meeting people’s needs for privacy, and syndication managment.
I believe that social media is the killer app of the semantic / semiotic web.
If you consider social the most important and underdeveloped vertical search with the most need for structure, then distributed, peer-based indexing and standardized document types are the way of the future.
I’ll leave you with a word from the founders:
Of course a distributed systems like Gloss [Gravano 94] or Harvest will often be the most efficient and elegant technical solution for indexing, but it seems difficult to convince the world to use these systems because of the high administration costs of setting up large numbers of installations. Of course, it is quite likely that reducing the administration cost drastically is possible. If that happens, and everyone starts running a distributed indexing system, searching would certainly improve drastically.

Comment by Tim — September 6, 2007 @ 12:01 pm |
I totally agree with everything in that Bill of Right. I think it has deep philosophical implications since it states rather clearly what is private and what is not on Internet and as such it redefines what an Individual is on the net.

Don’t know why there is no trackback, but I posted my thoughts on GNC http://www.geeknewscentral.com/archives/007271.html I agree with Steve Gibson that there is little chance that companies will willingly adopt this. There is interest for them to claim they do when there is demand from their consumers, but no inherent imperative for them to keep their word.
This could potentially be enforced by using a mixture of licensing and market forces. Consumer demand for the bill could push companies to license themselves as “BoR compliant” and penalties in the license contract could penalize them for infractions. I expand on this in my post if you are interested.

Cette “Déclaration des droits pour utilisateurs de médias sociaux” est probablement un peu utopique, mais c’est avec des utopies que l’on forge un meilleur monde!
Si j’ai précisé “médias sociaux”, c’est par ce que le web social, comporte certes les réseaux sociaux, mais également les autres outils utilisant des systèmes sociaux.

Rights are worth the guns you have to enforce them.
The key for the bill of rights might be to model some of it on how the creative commons folks have made their moves.
Instead of demanding rights, allow for a positive feedback cycle by creating levels of openness that people can advertise in specific ways. I may license my work BY-SA, but others may insist on BY-NC-SA. Each of those has recognizable icons like RSS that indicate what you can get.
So let me advertise on my site a standard for people’s “mydata” rights. I could say that I keep everything private, but allow openid authentication. Or my social site might let you get an export of any of your data, but not let you link to external signifiers (maybe i’m very concerned about spammers or link farmers…)
Give me a way to advertise just how open I am that is universally recognizable. Something that implies a CONTRACT of sorts between me and my users. Then you’ve got something.
I really think you can solve a number of these issues with cool icons and an independent group to guide the idea. Look at the improbable growth and success of the CC guys.
Comment by Matt Katz — September 6, 2007 @ 7:14 pm |
As published to http://skypejournal.com/blog/2007/09/rights_in_social_media.html
Marc Canter and friends are proposing a A Bill of Rights for Users of the Social Web (BORUS). These demands could certainly apply to Skype. As catchy as it is, BORUS is a shallow attempt to codify broader, deeper rights in cyberspace. It’s like petitioning for the right to print an afternoon edition of the local newspaper on paper instead of fighting for Freedom of Speech with heart, guns, money and blood. So…
18 Questions to the Authors:
1. Would you apply these rights to enterprise/intranet social networks?
2. Do your rights supercede an employer’s rights to manage workplace information, especially if it is to comply with laws and regulations?
3. How do we define “ownership”? Can we spell this out?
4. “activity stream of content they create” conflates two different sets of data. Do I own my “activity stream”, the metadata describing my activity on the site, including which pages I visit, forms I fill out, things I click? Would this include things like web site log files? Do I own “content I create” even if it is a collaborative work?
5. Do you provide exceptions for “except to comply with the law” and “to operate our site” to the “Control of whether and how such personal information is shared with others”?
6. Can we provide a model Terms Of Service that encapsulates these ideas?
7. Must these rights be transferable? What do you want to happen when a company agreeing to these rights is bought by a company that does not agree?
8. Must a company agree to provide escrow for this data, in the event of bankruptcy or takeover by an organization that does not comply with BORUS? Failing escrow, would you rather have the company commit to destroying all copies of your data than having it fall into non-BORUS hands?
9. In addition to syndication, should your host be required to keep permanent archives of your data? Some sites discard old data.
10. Should you be allowed to download your data in a documented, machine readable form? Blog services, starting with Dave Winer’s Manila, have done this for years.
11. Do your rights of ownership include withdrawing public posts and public comments, even killing open public groups you may have created, should you choose to disappear from view on their site?
12. Do I have the right to edit information about me in other people’s address books?
13. Which of these rights extend to groups of people or other objects I’ve defined in your network?
14. Is the “Allow their users to discover who else they know is also on their site, using the same external identifiers made available for lookup within the service” subject to “Control of whether and how such personal information is shared with others”?
15. Does “personal information” include information about you obtained from third parties? The way credit card companies or people-search firms do? Or the way online advertising agencies do? For example, if a facebook app shows your eBay score to other people, do you have the right to compel the site to hide that otherwise public information?
16. What are “external identifiers”? Are you referring to OpenID style logins? Or my usernames in other networks?
17. Some networks, like Skype, decentralize data, making it hard or impossible to comply with some of the syndication and linking or web access clauses. Can the language be generalized?
18. Should you insist on services defaulting to privacy instead of openness when they expose profiles to public search engines?
I wrote a “Desktop Bill of Rights” back in 1996 to set expectations between the LSI Logic IT department and its internal customers. Communication is great, governance is better. I like Matthew Green Smith’s suggestion: create a company to put a seal-of-approval on compliant services.

This is a great idea, but…
The people who need the protection this ‘Bill of Rights’ will provide are:
a) unlike the writers of this bill of rights in many, many ways (ie. not tech savvy, not white, not male, not wealthy…)
b) often the minority (Many people who use social networks don’t care about rights and are often even the ones who infringe upon others’ rights. Civil rights are often about protecting the weak against the strong or the minority against the mob.)
c) unlikely to participate in the project (because they either don’t know about it or don’t think it will be effective)
If you’re sincere in your effort to create a bill of rights, you’ll need to think more about the people you want to protect and enable.

>Ownership of their own personal information…..
I would like to suggest that such a concept is ludicrous on its face. One might as sensibly speak of owning the law of gravity, or tomorrow’s sunrise, or hurricane Katrina.
Information is not property, and even the most rabid advocates of strict copyright have not asserted it so. (Some businesses have asserted property rights in “trade secrets”. The law does indeed support this claim. The law, in that instance, is an ass.)
If I see Madonna making out with the Pope, this information is not proprietary to either of those parties. I witnessed it, and I am free by natural right to report it. If I’m at a party where I hear Madonna describing a makeout session with the Pope, I am similarly free to report that I heard her say that. If I’m at a party and I hear little Suzy Sunshine of Middleville USA talking about making out with her boyfriend, I am similarly free to report it. This may well mark me as a gossip, insufferably rude, and generally an a-hole. But I can still do it. If Suzy posts this on her MySpace page, I’m similarly free to drop a dime on her and snitch her out to her Mom, whether she likes it or not.
Little Suzy is responsible for stopping and thinking before she posts her personal business in front of two billion Internet users world wide. She owns nothing in that situation but the red face of embarrassment and the sheepish grin of stupidity. There is no expectation of privacy in public places. Duh! That’s why we call them “public”.
Somebody else said:
>1. CyberCitizens own their personal information.
>2. CyberCitizens may at any time regulate the use of their personal information by other persons or parties.
What I already said. (See above)

A few weeks ago, I read a post on apophenia about Baratunde’s problems with being accused of spamming on facebook. I hate to say that I kind of dismissed it thinking, well he must have been abusing it and sending insane amounts of messages because I’d never heard of facebook disabling features from someone’s account. Then, today it happenned to me. I think that I added about 20 friends and messaged maybe ten more people within an hour. (All people that I actually know, too. I was friending and messaging high school classmates.) Apparently this was too much for facebook. So, I got a warning, which now pops up whenever I try to do anything, like send a message to my brother or write on a friend’s wall. So, Baratunde, I now feel your pain. Sorry I didn’t get it before.
I think the most annoying part of all of it is that facebook won’t even tell me what I’ve done wrong precisely, so that I’ll be able to avoid it in the future. How are you suppossed to follow the rules if you don’t even know what the rules are?
For those of you that haven’t seen it, here’s facebook’s policy on spamming:
First, this sign pops up:
Warning! Your account could be disabled.
You are using this feature to spam other users. Continued misuse of Facebook’s features will result in your account being disabled. If you have any questions or concerns, you can visit our FAQ page here.
Then if you click on you can read their policy. My favorite parts are:
What are the limits?
Unfortunately, Facebook cannot provide any specifics on the rate limits that we enforce. Please know, however, that the speed at which you are acting and the sheer number of actions you have made are both taken into account.
and
How long will the block last? Can it be lifted?
The duration of the block varies depending on the nature of the offense, ranging from a few hours to a few days. When the block is over, please proceed with your site activity at a slower rate so as to avoid hitting another block or having your account disabled.
Facebook will not lift this block for you until the entire penalty time has elapsed.
So, I don’t know what I’ve done wrong, how to avoid doing it, or how long this “punishment” will last. Great…

At the highest level of abstraction we are dealing with protecting our “Electronic Souls” – portraits of ourselves that are becomming deeply personal and intimate. This is a question that extends beyond social networks to all personal information.
So while I applaud the effort, the scope is important. And there are legal questions surrounding the issue of personal information ownership that are rather complex. Personally I think we should just apply property rights, but the lawyers don’t tend to agree on that one.

Let’s just imagine for a moment that I actually own the initial information about me in my Facebook page. Let’s say that numerous other sites including the media consume that information. Now imagine that I’m running for political office and I realize that something I said in my Facebook entry wasn’t entirely accurate and I want to correct it. What are my revocation rights? And how can I revoke all old copies without implementing some kind of DRM?
Now consider the situation of the media organization that consumed my information. Are they not allowed to amass information about me, a politcal candidate? Is it relevant to the campaign that I said one thing when I wasn’t in the public eye, and another when I was?
I’m afraid that statements about my right to control how my information is used are useless without statements about how to revoke the use of my information, especially if I have said something untrue or libelous about someone else. But that right to revoke information leads us to the conundrum of how to trust information that may be changed at any time to suit the current political climate.
Some will argue that my contrived example is faulty because the courts recognize that public persons have less privacy than private persons. Unfortunately, I can become a public person overnight if someone posts a viral video about me on YouTube, or if I sue a celebrity.
This Bill of Rights will need extremely careful legal design of it is to have the slightest chance of becoming law in even one country. For it to become law in multiple countries when there are different standards for public and private persons, support or otherwise for libel laws, etc., seems highly unlikely to me.

Its a critical issue since I see the emergence of an ‘umbrella / meta social network’ i.e. a social network thats the first point of contact and which encomposes the web, the mobile web and the enterprise. To achieve that goal, we need the social network to be open and also an element of fine grained privacy control. Good initiative.

Do not forget: I have the right to have multiple social graphs, and I have the right to avoid sharing information necessary for others to connect them.
(paraphrased quote cuz I can’t be arsed to get the precise quote) “As you can see, we have quite a file on you, Mr. Anderson. While most people live their life, it seems that you have been living… two lives. One is Thomas A Anderson, programmer at a prestigious software company. The other is Neo, an underground hacker. One of these lives has a future. The other does not.”
How about, “As you can see, we have quite a file on you, Ms. Llewellyn. While most people live their life, it seems that you have been living three lives. One is Gwen A Llewellyn, a manager for a state Department of Revenue. Another is Haute Fiction, a slashfic writer in the Harry Potter universe. And the third is Cyrian Bunnyhug, a masculine furry avatar in the world of Second Life. Only one of these lives has a future, Ms. Llewellyn. The other two do not.”
I expect that I have this right (the right to withhold connecting data from public dissemination), even in the face of services that are open enough that third parties can query and otherwise get information on the various profiles I have.
This ‘right’ needs to be made explicit.

I also would like to second the right to delete one’s data completely from a site. I think that’s very important and should be possible without running strange scripts which make the platform remove that data (but in Scoble’s case it was also not physically deleted but just hidden. It should really be deleted if the user does wish so).
Comment by Christian Scholz — February 29, 2008 @ 9:57 am |
[...] The discussion turns into the fact weather FaceBook keeps a copy of your data and if you can get it removed. The right to delete the data is fundamental part of data portability. “Who’s data is this blog post? Just authors or of everyone that was there”. It is also hard from technical perspective. It’s also noted that web pages are cached and it is hard to quickly remove it from Google cache. It can be months, or days. Is it your right to delete your comments on a forum and disrupt the community. There is also a question of deleting blogs and the comments with them. The content becomes “part of community”, and with the deleting of the blog you are also removing other peoples original contribution.

[...] In the end, there are two essential things that have to present for this all to happen. The first is technology — ubiquitous Internet access and the servers to enable real-time social graph access. Given the pace of technology development, I’m pretty sure this will happen. The second is much harder — trust has to be present, between people, between social networks, marketers, and developers. This is what is going take a lot of time, effort, and patience, but the optimist in me thinks that it will come. That’s because people will press for it, demanding that sites and applications adhere to a Bill of Rights for users of the Social Web. [...]

I generally agree with the principle that the user owns his own data, but I have a question about the claim that a user owns:
“the list of people they are connected to”
On pretty much every major social networking site out there, the friend connections are a two-way street: if I friend you, you have to accept for it to exist. So how can you say that I own that friend connection wholesale? I would say that friend connections are jointly owned between two parties, and therefore any unauthorized disclosure of the connection by my friend – not to even say additional information about me – is a violation of my own privacy.
So how would you reconcile the “portability” of friend connections with the fact that unlike my Music interests and birthday, they are jointly owned (and so would need joint permission of some kind to be released)?

This should be added.
Anyone being banned or disabled from a social network,IE Facebook,the company should give them proper email notification. No presume guilt before innoncence. The user should have the right to disable thier account not some faceless administrator. Users have Bill of Rights protections.
Social network administrators too need thier own social netiquette examined. If they remove a user for no reason,without warning. That administrator should be fired forewith. CEOS should apoologize to thier customers on disable account issues for the pain and frustration employees give them. And have those administrator named in forums etc for public consumption.

Comment by Michigan — August 26, 2008 @ 6:44 am |
I am surprised that people like Steve Gibson think this is unrealistic.
In this case a “Bill of Rights” is something that could be accurately modeled as a contract. Clearly there is no legal obligation (yet) for sites to comply, but some may choose to. If both parties agree (web site and user) then this contract becomes valid and enforceable.
It doesn’t need a penalty system, or complicated implementation. It could be administered by a third party (EFF?) or some other “trusted third party”. If a social web site provider chooses to respect the rights defined, then they will be more likely to attract and retain their membership. Trust is two-way and engenders more trust.
This is a strong capitalist motivator. Social web sites are worthless unless they can retain both the membership and activity of their users. As this user base becomes more demanding, initiatives like this one would be more common. This is just a first step, but it is a step in the right direction, and should be supported.
Once users of social media can agree and define the “rights” they want to retain, then companies can sign up (or not) to this list of principles. The same idea now works in open source. Some companies sign up to the full list of principles, others sign up to a modified set but can sell their products. This improves transparency and accountability on all sides.
Good job and sign me up!

This is a social site that bans user for “discovering” adblock and related software, and arguing on how to use it, site that bans the same user for the second time “just for being”, doesn’t preserve his copyright laws by deleting his images without his permission (that was screenshots with various options shown).
