“When we choose to store our data online, we're often ceding our claim to it. Companies can decide what type of data they will hold for us, and can willfully delete any data they object to. Unless we've kept a separate copy on our own machines or drives, this data will be lost to us forever. If any of our data is found to be particulalry objectionable or otherwise in violation of the terms of service, the companies can unilaterally delete our accounts, deny us our own data, and yet retain a copy for their own records, which they can then turn over to the authorities without our knowledge or consent.

Ultimately, the privacy of our data depends on the ownership of our data.

There is no property less protected, and yet no property more private.”

My favorite Carl Sagan quote is one where he's answering a child that just asked him a question:

“I don’t know the answer. Maybe no one knows. Maybe when you grow up, you’ll be the first to find out.”

I wrote a short script that downloads YouTube videos from channels I like so I can watch them wherever I want, whenever I want, and with whatever media player I want.
