Where is Here?


Who owns my digital property after I die? Can digital assets be passed on to an heir? Or do they belong to the platform? Can my family access it after I die? These are big questions ... and no-one knows the answers! But if anyone might it is Lilian Edwards.

It seems that by default most digital assets belong to the platform and if my family wants to access to my digitally created material they may have to go to court. But which country's laws apply? Is it the laws of the land of the platform or the laws of where I live? Many platforms have undisclosed and multiple locations of servers - they are literally "Nowhere"...
