As a society, we understand that rights !== access. Just because you share your data with Facebook, giving them access to it, in the normal course of interacting with their servers does not grant them rights to that data.
When Netflix delivers a video to your device, society understands you can’t make a copy of that video and share it with your neighbor. That’s called “The Pirate Bay.”
Data on the internet is lacking equity: an ownership interest in property. As you generate data online, platforms accumulate equity in your data giving them control over that valuable property.
If, instead, you accumulated equity in your data the entire data broker market would be “The Pirate Bay.”
