May 2018, will our platforms be ready to make it easier to re-use our
google and facebook graph data ( or any existing platform where we have
data ), to generate value amongst ourselves by migrating such data onto our
own platforms ?

*Mandatory data sharing is not unheard of: Germany requires insurers
jointly to maintain a set of statistics, including on car accidents, which
smaller firms would not be able to compile on their own. The European
Union’s new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which will start to
apply in May 2018, requires online services to make it easy for customers
to transfer their information to other providers and even
competitors.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation

*The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679)
is a regulation <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulation_(European_Union)>
by which the European Parliament
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Parliament>, the Council of the
European Union
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_of_the_European_Union> and the
European Commission <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Commission>
intend to strengthen and unify data protection
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_protection> for all individuals within
the European Union <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union> (EU). It
also addresses the export of personal data outside the EU. The GDPR aims
primarily to give control back to citizens and residents over their
personal data and to simplify the regulatory environment for international
business <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_business> by unifying
the regulation within the EU.[1]
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation#cite_note-1>
When the GDPR takes effect, it will replace the data protection directive
(officially Directive 95/46/EC)
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directive_95/46/EC>[2]
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation#cite_note-2>
of 1995. The regulation was adopted on 27 April 2016. It becomes
enforceable from 25 May 2018 after a two-year transition period and, unlike
a directive <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directive_(European_Union)>, it
does not require national governments to pass any enabling legislation, and
is thus directly binding and applicable.*
