Not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for but I just stumbled upon the Dat project myself.

Thanks! A system after my own heart, it even uses a Merkle tree instead of a blockchain <3

Does this have a system that allows users to keep ownership of their personal data?

Yes, the data is owned by you and signed for ownership attribution. AFAIK there is no "remove my data from the network", as it is a public network.
You should also check out Beaker Browser. It is a browser built around the dat protocol. Really great community and even has a few decentralized social networks already.
