The W3C publishing ethical web principles is like OPEC publishing ethical climate principles.

Who are the members of the W3C?

Google,
Facebook (Meta),
Amazon,
Adobe,
SoftBank,
Yahoo!,
…

The W3C is the standards body of surveillance capitalism.

Ethical principles? W3C? Don’t make me laugh!

If they had any ethics they’d have expelled their most prominent members starting with Google and Facebook.

@expert Please, in the future, do a thirty second Internet search before accusing people you don’t know of disseminating false information.
