And so the World Wide Web was born \u2013 as a vague concept of document sharing based on a distributed hypertext system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot has changed since then. In fact, it&#8217;s reasonably safe to say that&nbsp;<em>everything<\/em>&nbsp;has changed. Mostly for good, but some for the not-so-good as well. To address these concerns, Berners-Lee and the folks at&nbsp;the <a href=\"https:\/\/webfoundation.org\">World Wide Web Foundation<\/a>&nbsp;have launched a plan. The project is designed to align governments, companies, and individuals by bolstering the positive and minimizing the negative with a &#8220;Contract for the Web.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center byline\"><em>&#8220;The Web was designed to bring people together and make knowledge freely available. It has changed the world for good and improved the lives of billions. Yet, many people are still unable to access its benefits, and for others, the Web comes with too many unacceptable costs.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the opening declaration of the <a href=\"http:\/\/contractfortheweb.org\/\">Contract For The Web<\/a>, which officially launched on November 23rd <g class=\"gr_ gr_14 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Grammar replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"14\" data-gr-id=\"14\">of<\/g> this year. Last March, Berners-Lee spoke openly about his concerns regarding the direction things were heading, and what we could do about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The power of the Web to transform people&#8217;s lives, enrich society and reduce inequality is one of the defining opportunities of our time. But if we don&#8217;t act now \u2014 and act together \u2014 to prevent the Web from being misused by those who want to exploit, divide and undermine, we are at risk of squandering that potential.&#8221; Berners-Lee goes on to state that to do this, we need to &#8220;establish clear norms, laws, and standards that underpin the web.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what exactly is this Contract for the Web? Here is how the organization explains it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"size-95em wp-block-list\"><li>The Web is one of the most transformative tools the world has ever seen and has changed billions of lives for the better. But a growing set of risks threaten its power as a force for good.<\/li><li>The Contract for the Web is a global action plan to address these threats and to protect an open web that is safe, empowering and for everyone.<\/li><li>It will guide the digital policy agendas of governments and the decisions of companies as they build tomorrow&#8217;s web technologies.<\/li><li>It sets standards, rooted in human rights, for the development and implementation of new technologies, and the policies and laws we need to support them.<\/li><li>It brings together the core parties shaping the future of the Web \u2014 governments, companies and civic groups \u2014 around a shared set of commitments that are rooted in human rights, setting out concrete actions they and individual web users must take to build a web that works for all humanity.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Several countries (including France and Germany) and hundreds of companies (including Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and Twitter) are already onboard. Now Berners-Lee is asking for us common-folk to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/contractfortheweb.org\/endorse-the-contract\/endorse-as-an-individual\/\">endorse the contract<\/a>&nbsp;as well. The outline is relatively simple \u2013 nine principles, three each for governments, companies, and citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">GOVERNMENTS<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Principle 1<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ensure everyone can connect to the internet<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"size-95em wp-block-list\"><li>By setting and tracking ambitious policy goals<\/li><li>By designing robust policy-frameworks and transparent enforcement institutions to achieve such goals<\/li><li>By ensuring systematically excluded populations have effective paths towards meaningful internet access<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Principle 2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep all of the internet available, all of the time<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"size-95em wp-block-list\"><li>By establishing legal and regulatory frameworks to minimize government-triggered internet disruptions, and ensure any interference is only done in ways consistent with human rights law<\/li><li>By creating capacity to ensure demands to remove illegal content are done in ways that are consistent with human rights law<\/li><li>By promoting openness and competition in both internet access and content layers<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Principle 3<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Respect and protect people&#8217;s fundamental online privacy and data rights<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"size-95em wp-block-list\"><li>By establishing and enforcing comprehensive data protection and rights frameworks<\/li><li>By requiring that government demands for access to private communications and data are necessary and proportionate to the aim pursued<\/li><li>By supporting and monitoring privacy and online data rights<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">COMPANIES<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Principle 4<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make the internet affordable and accessible to everyone<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"size-95em wp-block-list\"><li>By crafting policies that address the needs of systematically excluded groups<\/li><li>By working towards an ever-increasing quality of service<\/li><li>By ensuring full use of the internet by all, through a close coordination with Government and Civil Society towards<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Principle 5<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Respect and protect people&#8217;s privacy and personal data to build online trust<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"size-95em wp-block-list\"><li>By giving people control over their privacy and data rights, with clear and meaningful choices to control processes involving their privacy and data<\/li><li>By supporting corporate accountability and robust privacy and data protection by design<\/li><li>By making privacy and data rights equally available to everyone<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Principle 6<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Develop technologies that support the best in humanity and challenge the worst<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"size-95em wp-block-list\"><li>By being accountable for their work, through regular reports<\/li><li>By engaging with all communities in an inclusive way<\/li><li>By investing in and supporting the digital commons<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">CITIZENS<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Principle 7<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Be creators and collaborators on the Web<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"size-95em wp-block-list\"><li>By being active participants in shaping the Web, including content and systems made available through it<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Principle 8<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Build strong communities that respect civil discourse and human dignity<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"size-95em wp-block-list\"><li>By working towards a more inclusive Web<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Principle 9<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fight for the Web<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"size-95em wp-block-list\"><li>By being active citizens of the Web<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center byline\"><em>&#8220;The Web is for everyone and collectively we hold the power to change it.
