   This is cool: Māori in Aotearoa New Zealand are building out a distributed storage network with eight sites built on Māori land to give “iwi and hapū the power to control and make decisions over their own data.”

     @dexterous Any data their various organisations might need to store. The data storage provider doesn't need to specify the scope of what that might be, they're just offering a way for it to be under sovereign control.

     @parismarx but, what kind of data, though. The article seems a bit vague about the nature of data stored in these data centers. Either that or I lost something in the Māori.
