An operating system and file system that zealously maintains a private side and a shareable public side. The public side is for things like file sharing, your published blog, and social networking profile (though the latter two are managed by a central server rather than a personal server these days).
The private side contains for example all your webcam and microphone recordings, camera pictures, scanned documents, and any documents you've typed into your computer. It takes extra user effort and confirmation to copy something from the private side to the public side.
Internet applications are messy. By default they can only read from the public side, and only write to the private side (which means they cannot read what they write, so no cookies or other saved state).
