INSIGHT

Digital Ownership Illusion

  • Online accounts like Twitter, email, or gaming accounts create an illusion of ownership.
  • In reality, the platforms own these accounts and can terminate or alter them at will.
  • Despite lacking true ownership, these accounts hold value and are frequently traded.
  • This highlights the disconnect between perceived ownership and actual control in the digital realm.
  • The example of Twitter changing its name to X and taking the username from the existing user illustrates this concept.
