Yeah I would prefer to move my data from the cloud to my personal computer. With fully automated cloud-based end-to-end encrypted backups, of course. Even web apps have good access to local storage now. If I want to share my personal data with someone, I can send it to them.

I’m sure there are a few applications where something more complicated is required. Neither lemmy comments nor biometric data from a “smartwatch” are among them.

I’m not a lawyer, but I suspect that you may be overestimating the extent to which every piece of bullshit inserted into a TOS document that nobody reads is universally enforceable.

Business idea: Get subscriptions to Disney and ESPN streaming services, then let other people buy access to those accounts for one day at a time. You’d log in for them and give them the session cookie, or something like that. Shouldn’t be too hard to find a country in which that isn’t breaking any laws, although I’m guessing it’s probably not the USA.
