“Solid changes the current model where users have to hand over personal data to digital giants in exchange for perceived value. As we’ve all discovered, this hasn’t been in our best interests,” he composed.
All of your information is kept in your Solid Pod, which are “like secure USB sticks for the web” and permit you utilize it with apps or move it as you choose.
