Allow an identity to globally access all the data it has generated across the IC

dostro commented 3 years ago

Summary Among other things, having a free Internet means being the owner of our data. Today, we call databases full of information about us and our online behavior "walled gardens". This thread aims to start a conversation on if we should and how we could access all the data we've ever generated in any canister on the IC.

Questions

Are there security or any other reasons why this shouldn't be a feature of the IC?
Is update access valuable, or just read/query (i.e. delete or edit remotely, and perhaps allow individual apps to set these permissions)?
Is there already a map of the canisters each identity has authenticated with? Created data on?
