Tim Berners-Lee's plan to 'save the web' has been formally launched today and is backed by more than 150 organizations, including Facebook, Google, and Microsoft.

The inventor of the World Wide Web explained back in March his reasons for wanting a 'contract for the web'...

It's 30 years today since Tim Berners-Lee submitted a proposal for what would become the World Wide Web [and] said that the 30th anniversary was a time to reflect on both the positives and negatives [...]

"I think it's been a force for good for the first 15 [years], and right now it's really in the balance. I'm very concerned about nastiness and misinformation spreading. I think with a mid-course correction, the 'contract for the web' is about: let's all stop this downward plunge to a dysfunctional future."

    Let me elaborate, because I agree with what you said, just have more detail about it:

    "Companies will...

                    Principle 6 — Develop technologies that support the best in humanity and challenge the worst...

    Companies with technological monopolies will collude with the ADL to ensure that it is considered racist to challenge bad decisions and implement a wide latitude of censorship on the grounds of arbitrary and nebulous interpretations from a globalist perspective, from a perspective which suits only them rather than everybody.

    Yeah, no. Fuck you Globalist shitbags.

    " Citizens Will:

    Build strong communities that respect civil discourse and human dignity so that everyone feels safe and welcome online.

    Which means in practice that they will cater to the ADL's interpretation of "safe and welcome," which means that they really don't want freedom of speech or any other kind of free speech that could lead to a "Hillary Losing" situation again.

    Yeah, no. If these fuckers really believed in the true spirit of freedom of speech, then they'd be advocating for everybody to keep their hands the fuck off the 'net rather than trying to micromanage it. I guess the globalists have a lot of blackmail on these so-called "free-speech purists" and are leveraging it against them, and by extension, against the rest of us.

    Yeah no. You shithead cocksuckers aren't fooling the public-at-large much less those of us calling bullshit on shams run by globalists masquerading as political parties. We will win, you will lose. Fuck you. You aren't fooling anybody. Nobody believes the "Russian hacker" narrative and the more you Jew dipshits try to publicly subvert our democratic process, the more obvious it becomes. Prepare your anus.
