I blame the W3C for allowing the open internet to hide behind paywalls. cookie walls, DRM (Digital Rights Management) and unlimited surveillance. Maybe we need a better web, based on the lessons learned from what went wrong. #AlwaysTheOptimist

I agree 100%. Many things are definitely an improvement compared to the 2000s, but other things that were originally good have gotten worse, such as social media, chat and messaging, and the exchange and gathering of information. Community has disappeared; commercialism has taken over.

@jwildeboer I tend to blame surveillance capitalism and data brokers in general.

But sure, W3C.

@Piraya The WGs in the W3C that enabled this have a lot of corporate members that profited. So yes, the W3C enabled things it shouldn't have in my opinion. It can be reversed. I count on that to happen.

@jwildeboer There’s a push on for an Open Metaverse Browser, will the Metaverse be any different? Better? Assuming it takes off.
