Thanks for taking the time to provide these detailed follow ups. I'm still pretty wary of this project, but you've demonstrated that at least one person on the team is thinking through some of this stuff.
> An interesting thought experiment in this area is that if a user wants to transfer data from service A to service B, but service B doesn't allow export back out, what should service A do? Ideally you force service B to support export, but on the other hand the user should be in control, and who is service A to say no. Its almost putting the good of an individual user against the good of the ecosystem.
I'll offer that the European Union's answer to this -- the GDPR -- is to put the data subject first. It would be nice to see the DTP Project align with that position.
