You and Your Data: A Horror Story Made Online
summary
A recorded demo runs an Express app on localhost:8080 and uses the Access Grant JS library to build JSON request objects that include resource URL, WebID and explicit purposes; the user approves via the Pod browser, producing a signed Grant which the app exchanges for access and then reads the resource. Claim: fine‑grained, time‑limited, per‑file and per‑purpose authorization replaces all‑or‑nothing privacy checkboxes. The demo works end‑to‑end and the libraries are open source.
