We outlines current approaches to accessing enclosed data, and argue that GDPR transparency, access, portability rights can be a powerful bottom-up, adversarial data access tool, if used well.

Many thanks to TechReg's founding editor @TiltR for his swift editorial help getting this paper into shape, and to the peer-reviewers who gave time at the end of 2020 of all years. The 2020 issue is excellent, and it's open access, here techreg.org/index.php/tech…
(I also want to particularly thank my coauthor @Jausl00s — who is an exellent and inimitable friend, and one of the extremely stimulating coolcats whose presence (digital or not) constantly reminds me that yes, I am indeed in the right line of work, with the right people.)
