Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the man who built the world’s first web site in 1991, said the World Wide Web must be controlled to prevent malicious conspiracy theories and rumours spreading and being passed off as factual information, this is why he is launching the World Wide Web Foundation.
Sir Tim said he is becoming very concerned how easily the “thinking of cults” can be accepted by mainstream internet users and spread across the world as truths. People have believed that the Large Hadron Collider could end the world and the MMR vaccine could give children autism, through the harmful online campaigns.
Sir Tim, who is preparing to launch a foundation aimed at upholding the Web’s founding principles; he said that system rating sites’ trustworthiness was urgently needed.
The World Wide Web foundation will offer kite mark-style branding to websites it thinks are a reliable source of information, he also added that this would not threaten freedom of speech and it will advance a web which is open and free. Basically it’s going to be a way to separate fact from fiction.
