This sounds a lot like the opening thoughts of the IndieWeb movement: https://indieweb.org
They not only live this philosophy, they're pushing the envelope by building new infrastructure to make it even better.

 
 
 
 
 

IndieWebCamp Los Angeles 2016

Join us in LA (Santa Monica) for two days of a BarCamp-style gathering of web creators building and sharing open web technologies to empower users to own their own identities & content, and advance the state of the #indieweb!

Location: Pivotal, 1333 2nd Street, Suite 200, Santa Monica, CA,, 90401, United States

Time:

Ends:

The IndieWeb movement is a global community that is building an open set of principles and methods that empower people to take back ownership of identity and data instead of relying on 3rd party websites.

At IndieWebCamp you’ll learn about ways to empower yourself to own your data, create & publish content on your own site, and only optionally syndicate to third-party silos. Along the way you’ll get a solid grounding in the history and future of Microformats, domain ownership, IndieAuth, WebMention and more!

Solid

Solid (derived from "social linked data") is a proposed set of conventions and tools for building decentralized social applications based on Linked Data principles. Solid is modular and extensible and it relies as much as possible on existing W3C standards and protocols.
