Allow people to remove their own access
I was made aware of a bug with Google Drive by Jessica Lord on Twitter, namely that people cannot remove their own access to a folder. It doesn't solve the underlying issue (her abusive ex is actively putting photos in the folder), but she's not even able to remove her own access to the folder.
As I understand the spec today, that is also going to be a problem with WAC. I think this is something we should solve, and hope that by raising this issue we can find some good solutions.
Also, lets say you could remove your own access - there isn't any mechanism to prevent the owner to add access back again, is there?
(It's tempting to say that the best solution would be to prevent the abusive ex being able to upload the photos in the first place - but that's a completely different problem, with many very difficult aspects connected to it...)
Thinking more on this, I guess we won't have the same problem that Google Drive has, since "Shared with me" is not a thing - yet. At least we might want to consider implementing a block-function, to allow people blocking content shared by people they don't want to resources shared from.
Then again, I'm to unfamiliar with this altogether, and hope to learn more about this problem from others, and hopefully find good solutions.
"Shared with me" is not (yet) a thing, but notifications and other things going into public-write inbox is, and abusive exes will tend to create new WebIDs anytime they learn their old WebID has been put on a block-list (which should nonetheless be an ACL option, à la "anyone except x, y, z can ...").
This is definitely a thing which will need attention, and if handled well, could be a big motivator to draw people out of existing silos and into Solid spaces.
Acknowledging this.. I believe a part of this UC re blocking is covered in https://github.com/solid/authorization-panel/pull/112 .
Will follow-up to see if removal of access can be covered beyond the current existing cases - especially for those that do not have Control access.
