Access to the data it's what matters, ownership is just one method of access.

We're talking about individuals' personal data stored by social media companies being accessible to others (governments, in this case). This has nothing to do with social security.

The problem is that the data is accessable, but that's not being addressed. This is an improper fix to an actual problem, just facts.

What's this US shit? These corps are international and Americans pay more (for meds) than anyone else does out of pocket.

Same! I recently found this "feature" can be disabled in the preferences, along with a bunch of creepy tracking options.

This response is nonsensical. Auto manufacturers support their vehicles for decades after a car is made.
