33 years ago today, I submitted a proposal for a system called the World Wide Web.
I'd normally publish thoughts on the state of the web. But these are not normal times. Instead, @rosemaryleith & I ask you to join us to #StandWithUkraine however you can.

Brave keeps expanding its privacy-aware product portfolio with a search engine. Excellent mission and execution in hands of a Peter Thiel funded company. When will a decentralized venture accomplish similar achievements? techcrunch.com/2021/06/22/br…
Apple and Google intend to push pandemic trackers into most of the world's smartphones. In response, @ACLU just published a whitepaper listing bottom-line principles phone-based contact-tracing systems must follow to comply with basic rights. Summary: aclu.org/news/privacy-techno…
We are working on a mobile app to offer an alternative to the Dutch #coronaApp that is privacy-preserving and decentralized. It will adhere to the technological demands of the ‘Veilig tegen corona’ manifesto (veiligtegencorona.nl/) 1/6
What about a (d)App that stores IDs of devices discovered through bluetooth/wifi for x days and warns those devices (if they install the #app in the meantime) in case you have been diagnosed with #Covid_19 ? This could be done anonymously @licuende@antirival @aral @jackdurose
.@Ecosia seems everything we wanted to do with @thegooddata (and we failed). With one difference: it should be great that they find the way to share ownership with their users. Would a DAO be an option? @TimSchulinkedin.com/pulse/our-compa…
Is facebook a "data factory" as @stratechery says? Data processing factory would be more accurate. Raw data is in fact created (and owned) by the people. Interesting read though stratechery.com/2018/data-fa…
...and a big leap for mankind. We really hope so. Data ownership in the cornerstone of the new internet. All our support to @inrupt_inc ow.ly/TOQP50jhf4q
Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and Twitter partner for an open-source 'future of portability’ project ow.ly/Cbhd30l2WWY Where is the trick @russellbrandom ?
We've always been told that only machines read our Gmail. It is not true. Is there any internal policy in place to protect us from developers misbehavior? ow.ly/wOK930kM9Ng
Facebook used to be a democracy, but nobody voted. User governance is not straightforward. May even be a chimera after all ow.ly/jK2H30jnoe2@thedextriarchy
