MODERATORS
Since we are designing the consensus algorithm we could remove data that is expired with some quorum vote, or indication from a key holder.
or you could just not do that, and keep control of your own data. Why the hell would I want you to have a vote on whether I can delete my private data, which for some unfathomable reason, someone decided everyone should have a copy of?
In practice, data owners don't have control of their data, sysadmins do. This gets complicated in multi-orgnizational data setups.
the sysadmin is part of the owner
data owner was the key one here. If I run a storage service for example, I have control of the data, but you would see it as a breech of trust if I deleted your data, or gave access to someone else without your permission, because you in the scenario are the data owner.
