Time Berners Lee is in Washington DC in an effort to prevent a rollback of Obama period Net Neutrality laws. Here he repeats his warning about the way the internet is being used by digital gatekeepers using advertising efforts to control or manipulate parts of the internet.
The founder of the internet from its early days says the whole system is failing, that the way ad revenue works it is distorting for people and information. Specially placed AI works to distract viewers, and is not healthy for truth or democracy, says Lee.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
