Inventor of the World Wide Web warns tech giants must be regulated, or the ‘net will plunge into “weaponization” that harms society

(Natural News) Inventor of the World Wide Web, British computer scientist Sir Tim Berners-Lee, is speaking out about how the internet is being weaponized against people. He believes that tech giants should be regulated so that free speech can be restored across the net. Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc., control a vast proportion of the information people receive. The groupthink that dominates these organizations drives them to censor dissenting voices on the internet and favor the content that aligns with their goals.

In 2019, the internet celebrates its thirtieth birthday. What was once an open portal for communication and sharing information, the internet has slowly become a totalitarian hub of thought control. Tech giants now censor certain viewpoints while favoring the content they want people to consume.

As much as I hate the silicon valley PC groupthink, the answer is more freedom, not regulation.

This is getting confusing - the internet should be controlled to prevent big tech companies, who currently have more than enough firepower in DC, from enforcing groupthink?

Who'll do the controlling/incentivizing?
