Genuine question on your perspective , I found and serve a picture of you and your wife having a meal that you once posted on myspace.

Does that make it my data? If not why? What makes these 1s and 0s uniquely yours?

When you posted the picture to myspace under the terms of their user agreement you granted them unlimited rights to redistribute that image to anyone in the world.

If you care about privacy don't post private stuff online.

Yup. That's your data now. And also mine (if I have a backup) and also myspace's.

The fact that makes it your data is that you physically can share it with someone else.

At least that's the value system I live by and I believe should be in place for all because it perfectly reflects the reality of what happens with ones and zeroes.

I'd say that it'd be your data but you might not be the copyright holder. But if the data is on a storage media that you own, I would consider it your data.

That's a very weird definition of "your data" that goes against e.g. the GDPR definition, etc.

Where did you find that picture? If the person printed it out and plastered it on a nearby signpost for everyone to see, I'd say it is no longer personal data.
