Parent seems to be referring to MIDs [1]

"Mediators of Individual Data (MIDs) are a union-like organization championed by technologist Jaron Lanier as a framework for addressing the key issues around user-generated data like ownership, monetization, and reparations. An effective MID or data union could perform a number of critical functions on behalf of its members that are currently lacking in the digital economy."

There exists also a great Harvard Business Review article, but it is paywalled.

"Access from your Country was disabled by the administrator.", The Netherlands not allowed (the hashtag for the project is #DDPforAll ironically) :(
