The Guardian:
Today marks 28 years since I submitted my original proposal for the worldwide web. I imagined the web as an open platform that would allow everyone, everywhere to share information, access opportunities, and collaborate across geographic and cultural boundaries. In many ways, the web has lived up to this vision, though it has been a recurring battle to keep it open. But over the past 12 months, I’ve become increasingly worried about three new trends, which I believe we must tackle in order for the web to fulfill its true potential as a tool that serves all of humanity.
Interesting and well thought out description of the problems Berners-Lee sees with today’s internet along with possible solutions. Sadly, it’s unlikely there’s going to be any effort to address the issues he describes.
Kill Twitter and Facebook and the internet will be fine.
So how does one solve the personal data thing? Companies require it, individuals withhold it (ideally). It’s almost like you need some kind of data escrow service. The individual shares as much personal data with the escrow service as they are comfortable with. When a company wants some data, they can access it only if the individual gives permission. Pass laws restricting how long companies can retain your data after you give them permission.
Such an escrow service itself sounds like a centralized data store with a big target on its back for governments or bad guys to harass. So it would have to somehow be decentralized.
I wonder if git could provide us with a decent model about how to do this? Make a standard for accessing the data like git does with its URL, and allow any site that follows that standard qualify as a repository for your data. So, if you want to use Facebook or Google or Twitter, fine. I on the other hand will host my repo on my own.
Maybe it actually uses git so that any git hosting site immediately qualifies. The main difference is that this data isn’t publicly available like most public git repositories until you grant access. Maybe that’s granted somewhat like OAuth. The individual gets a login page to their own repo and if successful the site gets to use your data.
Break up the carriers and big-media companies that are trying to privatize it.
