    The Solid protocol specification or anything similar (it doesn’t have to be that specific protocol).

    For example, registering to a website or service actually creates a local secure database/bucket/pod where that website/service organizes/sort/manipulates our data and stores all generated modified data/metadata within our local personnal server, every time we interact with that same external website/service it gets access to the database/bucket previously created. (Ideally) no personnal data should be stored on external servers/machines outside our control and without our explicit consent.

      I hope this works out so much. Tim Berners-Lee even endorsed it! Unfortunately, a lot of these super cool ideas come with the limitation of needing a personal server. I think if we really want this stuff to happen, someone needs to start selling modem/router combos with a home server built in. You could add Solid, local media share, etc. by default, and it would be a great place to install Home Assistant or run a Minecraft server from.
