"MyTerms" wants to become the new way we dictate our privacy on the web
Briefly

Doc Searls, a long-time Internet freedom advocate, introduces the 'MyTerms' draft standard, aimed at empowering users by allowing them to define their own privacy preferences when interacting with online services. Since its conception in 2017, MyTerms enables users to establish clear privacy contracts with websites and apps, determining what data they share. The framework supports a pre-set or selected contract approach, guiding interactions in a way that aligns with individual preferences. It is rooted in concepts like Customer Commons and aims to reduce reliance on ad-blocking techniques.
