Is Your Data Free?

" summary

Web services often keep copies of your content and limit exit options; choose services that publish their license and let you export or delete data. Recommend using AGPL for server-side freedom, cite Identi.ca as an open-source microblog and Tomboy Online hosted by the GNOME Foundation for notes syncing. Check account recovery and alternate email paths, verify export formats and completeness, and beware messages that lock or delete accounts—plan backups and migration steps before committing your data.
