Last year, he already declared that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/news\/2018\/07\/the-man-who-created-the-world-wide-web-has-some-regrets\">he was &#8220;devastated&#8221;<\/a> by what the Web had become.<\/p>\n<p>Very strong words that led him to create, in the framework of his work with MIT, a project to reinvent the Web protocol: <a href=\"https:\/\/solidproject.org\">SOLID<\/a> (still for Martians, I remind you that the Web was born in 1989 from the creation of the HTTP protocol that you use every day). A great project but too complex and above all a bit threatening for the dominant actors that it castigates.<\/p>\n<h3><b>SOLID: a great idea that will probably remain so<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>His idea was a very clever one: separate data from programs, and make sure that the user always remains the owner of the data by letting them grant temporary access rights to applications.<\/p>\n<p>For example, instead of giving all your photos to Flickr or Google, you keep them on a disk space that belongs to you, and Flickr is given a temporary right to access those photos.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone in the world can access them from any application to which you grant these rights. It&#8217;s a very clever concept, even though a bit hard for ordinary users\u00a0to understand.<\/p>\n<p>But then again, it is difficult to reinvent a concept, even if it is &#8220;broken&#8221; to use the words of its founder, from scratch when it has grown to such a level. The fact is that it is not broken. It&#8217;s just that some have diverted it to their profit. What is the incentive for change when the Web has become that licence to print money, I wonder!<\/p>\n<p>Hence the Contract that was launched recently\u00a0(well, that&#8217;s my understanding).<\/p>\n<h3><b>So, what is Contract for the Web?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>It is a set of basic principles, rules of conduct for governments, businesses and citizens. No one can deny the quality and urgency of these basic principles. Apart from a few extremists, of course, God knows they exist.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-34324 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/visionarymarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/29-37-2019_07.37.47-CapturFiles.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"945\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visionarymarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/29-37-2019_07.37.47-CapturFiles.png 945w, https:\/\/visionarymarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/29-37-2019_07.37.47-CapturFiles-500x229.png 500w, https:\/\/visionarymarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/29-37-2019_07.37.47-CapturFiles-768x352.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 945px) 100vw, 945px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>First and foremost, Governments are asked to guarantee free access to the Internet, keep it open at all times and respect the rights of individuals (i.e., not to use the Internet to violate them).<\/p>\n<p>And now we&#8217;re off to a pretty bad start. Internet access is not free in most of the world&#8217;s countries: China, Russia, South America, Iran, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Sudan etc. To this list must be added all the countries that are opaque or too unstable, and there are quite a few.<\/p>\n<p>The Internet is often switched off or filtered (and this is not new, as early as 1997 Lebanon cut off access to VOIP) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmp.com\/news\/china\/society\/article\/2115094\/china-build-giant-facial-recognition-database-identify-any\">China has launched projects to control its citizens<\/a>, not to mention the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lesechos.fr\/monde\/chine\/comment-pekin-utilise-une-appli-mobile-pour-traquer-les-musulmans-ouighours-1015589\">Uighurs who are forced to switch on their mobile phones to<\/a> be permanently tracked.<\/p>\n<p>And finally, France, a self-proclaimed country of human rights, is threatening to use &#8211; without too much subtlety &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-france-tech-surveillance\/french-government-seeks-to-comb-social-media-to-fight-tax-fraud-idUSKBN1XH2OX\">social media to delve into our private lives<\/a> (important notice: it goes without saying that I pay all my taxes and reject tax evasion altogether, but I&#8217;m not at all sure about how politicians tackle these issues).<\/p>\n<p>1984 in short, but with more technology (which does not mean it is more efficient).

The first ones to sign were the ones <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/2018\/mar\/11\/tim-berners-lee-tech-companies-regulations\">right in Tim Berners Lee&#8217;s firing range<\/a>. SOLID on the other hand is sponsored by Qatar and Mastercard. We&#8217;re not in charity business here, although I have nothing against them personally (nor with the above signatories, I might add).<\/p>\n<p>And yet I quote The Guardian and Tim Berners Lee from a year ago:<\/p>\n<p>Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, has called for the regulation of large technology companies to prevent the Web from being &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/commentisfree\/2018\/mar\/12\/tim-berners-lee-web-weapon-regulation-open-letter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">weaponised<\/a>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"quote-light\"><p>The web can be weaponised \u2013 and we can&#8217;t count on big tech to stop it<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Two myths currently limit our collective imagination: the myth that advertising is the only possible business model for online companies, and the myth that it\u2019s too late to change the way platforms operate. On both points, we need to be a little more creative.<\/p>\n<p>While the problems facing the web are complex and large, I think we should see them as bugs: problems with existing code and software systems that have been created by people \u2013 and can be fixed by people. Create a new set of incentives and changes in the code will follow. We can design a web that creates a constructive and supportive environment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3><b>In conclusion<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>There is a kind of ambiguity between making tech giants sign contracts to make them &#8220;virtuous&#8221;, calling for their dismantling and asking to reinvent the Web with, as signatories, actors who have no objective interest &#8211; without any judgment on my part &#8211; in participating in this reinvention.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, I will sign the contract because we have no choice. There is a dire need for more ethics on the Web. Goodwill is obvious, I&#8217;m ready to believe it. Signing the contract is a commitment. For my part, and that of Visionary Marketing, it will not require any effort on our part. As to other signatories?<\/p>\n<p>I have more doubts about some other players (governments, citizens), and although this initiative can only be welcomed, I doubt that any significant changes will be seen in the short or even medium term.<\/p>\n<h3><b>The state of the Web today has more to do with the state of the world in general than with technology.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>More than anything else, this situation demonstrates the powerlessness of States to regulate economically, socially and legally. They seem to have abandoned this territory, which was theirs, and many of them have even seized the opportunity of technology for their own political ends. In short, a lot of mingling by states in all sorts of places where there shouldn&#8217;t be and precious little where there should, to preserve freedom of thinking, trading and God knows what else comes next.<\/p>\n<p>As a conclusion, the state of the Web today has way more to do with the of the world than that of technology. But we still need to sign this contract to move forward, be positive and improve things, there may still be time.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_55614\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-55614\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/visionarymarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/endorse-the-contract.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-55614 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/visionarymarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/endorse-the-contract.png\" alt=\"contract for the web\" width=\"450\" height=\"75\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-55614\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">https:\/\/contractfortheweb.org\/endorse-the-contract\/<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Read Contract for the Web<\/h4>\n<p>https:\/\/visionarymarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Contract-for-the-Web-1.pdf<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/visionarymarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Contract-for-the-Web-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">T\u00e9l\u00e9charger Contract for the Web<\/a> s&#8217;il ne s&#8217;affiche pas ci-dessus<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lately, Tim Berners-Lee (inventor of the Web in 1989, 30 years ago for those who lived on planet Mars at that time) announced the launch of a contract to &#8220;fix the Web&#8221;.
