@kenakofer Yep, definitely

I could see there being a law to this effect, plus most websites and apps making you agree to terms and conditions where you sign it all away. Would that resolve YES?

@kenakofer I'm unsure. I think T&C are under question in general.

@kenakofer I feel like the scope of the question is just US law. T&C do not appear to be within the scope. I suspect that T&C would be adapted in anticipation of such legislation to have people waive or transfer their personal property rights in such data but I don't think that activity has any bearing on US law is concerning it.
