Apple joins Data Transfer Project with other cloud service giants
Actually the EU already has a law for that as part of GDPR, the portability of data is a requirement. Until now everyone was wondering how this would work, as companies like Apple, Google etc... are required to allow you to request you data be transferred to another service. So this must be the answer. And again, don't believe anything these companies are doing it out of the goodness of their heart...avon b7 said:This good news. I'm sure the EU would have passed legislation at some point to tackle the issue but the fact that is being looked at and progressing is great for consumers as long as there are no 'gotchas' blocking the way.
It makes a lot of sense. I tried Google Takeout a few years ago and it looked very promising. Things have got incredibly more complex since then so anything that simplifies the process is welcome.
I wonder if there is a way to legally 'freeze' an account and import it into an existing account and keep the data seperate within the holding account. For example when someone dies and wants to leave a digital legacy to someone.
