“The web is critical not merely to the digital revolution but to our continued prosperity - and even our liberty. Like democracy itself, it need defending”
(Berners-Lee, 2010) Ever since the release of the WWW, Berners-Lee has been trying to guard his invention
from deviating from its principals. He thinks that the egalitarian principles are of paramount importance for the people making the Web a powerful and ubiquitous tool.
Berners-Lee has been aware of the issues such as information walling by large social-networking sites, traffic controlling by wireless Internet providers, monitoring people’s online habits and endangering human rights by totalitarian
and democratic governments.
(Berners-Lee, 2010) He was trying to put these trends on checked in order to avoid the Web being broken into
fragmented islands and defending the freedom of net citizens from being snooped on, filtered, censored and disconnected.
