The inventor of the web wants you to help create an internet bill of rights
The web has changed a lot in the 25 years since Tim Berners-Lee first proposed its underlying technology, and not entirely for the better — censorship, reduced net neutrality and surveillance are very real concerns. Berners-Lee and a host of partners are fighting these threats by launching Web We Want, a campaign pushing for an internet bill of rights in every country. The initiative asks you to start a discussion about the web you’d like to see, and to draft a matching set of rights. It’s also fostering education efforts, offering small support grants and rallying groups at critical moments. There’s no certainty that Web We Want will make a tangible impact, but it should provide a stronger voice to advocates of a free and open internet.
