Thirty years ago, Tim Berners-Lee, a CERN researcher, arranged the Web platform to help scientists share data. At that time there were several platforms for such data sharing, but Berners-Lee made the Web source code free for free, so the Web spread explosively. Everyone who has a computer and can connect to the Internet can access the Web, and developers launched browsers, blogs, e-commerce sites and so on one after another. The Web did not require anyone's permission, it was truly open and free.

But now it monopolizes almost everything that happens on the Internet, including information such as Facebook, Google, Amazon, etc. who liked it, what kind of news you read, what you purchased, etc. . Berners-Lee plans to redistribute the centralized Web in this way. Berners-Lee previously expressed his opinion on the Great Britain's letter The Guardian as follows.

The project called Solid that Berners-Lee is working on is to make it possible for people to manage their personal information on their own. In addition, young German young coders make a distributed version of Twitter called Mastodon, and France has a movement such as creating a Peertube as a distributed version of YouTube. Amy Guy who created the association's protocol ActivityPub, a function that connects instances of Mastodon, is "resentful of the daily lives of people being under the control of the company, realizing it unexpectedly I hate the surveillance society that is closed. "

So far, Mark Zuckerberg, who founded Facebook, said he is focusing on protecting the user's privacy right, and Google has added new privacy-related features to Gmail There is no guarantee that the trend will continue. As corporate lobbyists move people involved in legislation, personal rights are lost. In December 2017 the telecom company's lobbyists encouraged the Internet neutrality rule to be eliminated and in January 2018 the National Security Agency allowed to continue mass tracking programs online.

In response to the question "What should a normal person do?" Berners-Lee says, "I do not need to have skills like programming, but I have a mind that I think I'm fed up with control I need it. "
