Inventor worried it will go the way of the passenger pigeon

Sir Tim Berners-Lee’s is starting to fear that the WWW which he invented is starting to die off.

He worried about a “nasty storm” of issues including the rollback of net neutrality protections, the proliferation of fake news, propaganda, and the web’s increasing polarisation.

Talking to the Guardian, Sir Tim always thought his creation was a reflection of humanity – the good, the bad and the ugly. But Berners-Lee’s vision for an “open platform that allows anyone to share information, access opportunities and collaborate across geographical boundaries” has been challenged by increasingly powerful digital gatekeepers whose algorithms can be weaponised by master manipulators.
