Berners-Lee privacy by the inventor of the Web

We all have a life on Earth. The internet started when Sir Tim Berners-Lee invented the web, or WWW, which made it very easy for everyone to use it to make information available. 28 years later, it seems we've gone too far with our personal information.

This might not be too much of a problem, if all personal μας δεν συγκεντρωνόταν από μερικές μεγάλες such as Amazon, Facebook and Google.

So Berners-Lee has decided to put our data back in our hands and is preparing to do so with a new open source project: the Solid.Berners-Lee

Berners-Lee says:

I always thought the web was for everyone. This is why I and others are struggling to protect him. The changes we have made have created a better and more connected world. But although we have done well, the web has evolved into a machine of inequality and division. It is influenced by powerful forces that use it for their own agendas.
Today, I think we have reached a critical point of overturning and this strong change for the better is possible and necessary.

Solid aims to change “the current model where users have to make their personal data available to digital giants in exchange for a perceived value. As we have all discovered, this is not in our best interest. "We want to restore balance - giving all of us full control of the data, personal or not, in a revolutionary way."

Solid is not such a radical project, but it seems to be a new specification structure to extend the of the world wide web (HTTP, REST, HTML). The new structure is reportedly 100% compatible with the existing web. The new project seems to give additional features to an existing system. However, when used in combination, it enables exciting new features in websites and applications.
