Tim Berners-Lee called for a bill of rights that would guarantee the independence of the internet and ensure users' privacy.

The British inventor of the World Wide Web has warned that the freedom of the internet is under threat by governments and corporations interested in controlling the web.

Tim Berners-Lee, a computer scientist who invented the web 25 years ago, called for a bill of rights that would guarantee the independence of the internet and ensure users' privacy.

"If a company can control your access to the internet ... which websites you go to, then they have tremendous control over your life," Berners-Lee said at the London Web We Want festival on the future of the internet.

"If a government can block you going to, for example, the opposition's political pages, then they can give you a blinkered view of reality to keep themselves in power.

"Suddenly the power to abuse the open internet has become so tempting both for government and big companies."

Berners-Lee, 59, called for an internet version of the Magna Carta, the 13th-century English charter credited with guaranteeing basic rights and freedoms.

Concerns over privacy and freedom on the internet have increased in the wake of the revelation of mass government monitoring of online activity following leaks by former US intelligence contractor Edward Snowden.

See, angmoh invention = no sustainability.

Internet is a trial and error as you go technology and cut and paste,. Sooner it need a body to control which they already have, nothing new. See http://www.w3.org/

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is an international community that develops open standards to ensure the long-term growth of the Web. Read about the W3C mission.

It is not about protecting privacy, and independence, cause there isn't any to begin with. Without some form of control http://www.w3.org/ internet is unreliable and would have been a failed invention long time ago.

More legislated codes are need for guidelines to stopped hackers. the FSOB that damaged this cut and paste and trial and error technology.

Put in these codes *meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow,noarchive"**
*meta name="robots" content="none"**
*meta name="googlebot" content="noindex,nofollow,noarchive"**

replaced * with < and ** with >

the SEOs have to honor these codes to take it off their website. SEOs website like Google are private limited companies and can use them as you please.

Try: add these codes here *meta .... ** see if Google will take it off and will not be shown in SEO site.

<meta name="robots" content="none">
<meta name="googlebot" content="noindex,nofollow,noarchive">




Another unsustainable angmoh invention - their shit legal system.

Same goes to law industry, outdated protected industry for 'A' level >98.9% result students turned them into greedy bastard crooks.

A Senior Counsel charged $6,000 for a day in court? Simi lancheow lai! Already discussed the case at kopi tiam and in judge chamber for the verdict and 'wayang' in courtroom for $6,000.

Which cat don't eat fish? You have a male judge (angmoh are drunk even their JC are drunk) with their eyes roving around in the courtroom looking at pretty girls you think they are good at what they are doing?

only the people who seek to control the internet or the media are people with something to hide....like the PAP for example.

if u are so worried about hackers and privacy,dont put ur secrets online or on ur computer for everyone to see.

That's only a small part of the problem. Commercial control of the internet is far more harmful.

The internet can be controlled only because the majority of users are dumbfucks who don't have a clue how to secure their on-line freedoms.

Security is like a house lock. The locksmith have master keys to access any forms of locks and only with laws you can make sure these monkeys are not committing crimes with the master keys.

Chicken and egg case.
