Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the web, has been calling for a "digital bill of rights" for the internet for years. Now he finally has one.
On Sunday, the Web Foundation, an organization founded by Berners-Lee in 2009, launched the Contract for the Web, which documents nine core principles for a fair and just internet future, including affordable internet access, privacy, and freedom from censorship. The project cites companies including Facebook, Google, and Microsoft as supporters along with internet freedom organizations like Access Now and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. The Web Foundation also cites the governments of France and Germany as contributors to the principles. Web Foundation policy director Emily Sharpe says more than 550 organizations, plus individuals, have endorsed the document so far.
