Tim Berners-Lee is still active for the web. Over the past year he has worked with activists, academics, companies, governments and citizens from across the world to make sure our online world is safe, empowering and genuinely for everyone.
They have developed the Contract for the Web, which is based on nine principles:
Government
Ensure everyone can connect to the internet
Keep all of the internet available, all of the time
Respect and protect people’s fundamental online privacy and data rights
Companies
Make the internet affordable and accessible to everyone
Respect and protect people’s privacy and personal data to build online trust
Develop technologies that support the best in humanity and challenge the worst
Citizens
Be creators and collaborators on the Web
Build strong communities that respect civil discourse and human dignity

Great summary Al. But I think the "contract" ignores the biggest violator of a fair and secure internet - investors. Our data privacy would not be in such jeopardy today if venture capital did not reward business models which exploit our personal information. I ask; would 23&Me EVER get funding if the "kit" cost $300 but without the massive archiving of "users" genetic predisposition?
