The three biggest worries of the inventor of World Wide Web

He acknowledges the contributions of all of us who have been part of the web for as long as we have.

On the 28^th birthday of the World Wide Web, Tim Berners-Lee, the man who invented the World Wide Web has words of wisdom to share with us about the current state of the web and the way forward. He acknowledges the contributions of all of us who have been part of the web for as long as we have.
But there are three concerns that he has and these are things we should keep in mind as we go ahead with our lives.
1) Our personal data
We have to be wary of agreeing to terms and conditions on the World Wide Web. Even if we were to read the terms and conditions in detail before agreeing to them, there's only so much time that we have at our disposal. We end up agreeing to terms that compromise our personal information. It's important to realize the information you provide leaves you the loser in the information asymmetry that exists between you and the powerful companies on the web.
2)  Misinformation on the web
It's easy to spread misinformation on the web. Algorithms are increasingly sophisticated but they still haven't been able to stop the spread of misinformation. It doesn't help matters that fake news is tailored to appeal to our biases. In truth, we have suspicious minds and we all have a tendency to believe conspiracy theories. It's easy for people who don't even remotely have your best interests at heart to foment trouble on the web. There's always the distinct possibility that there will be a spillover into the physical world.
3) Political advertising
Political parties are using the web to further their interests. These interests may not be apparent and it is possible that readers won't understand that they are being played. Sometimes you need to think out loud to really figure out that what you're reading is loaded.
Political advertising manipulates readers by directing them to specific websites or by showing readers a version of a political advertisement that was made especially for them. The readers are lulled into believing specious information. They are even discouraged from voting through political sophistry.
What are the solutions Berners-Lee provides? He asks readers to regain some measure of control over their personal data. We have to resist surveillance attempts by governments. We have to make gatekeepers like Facebook work harder in preventing the spread of misinformation. We also require more algorithmic transparency.
Berners-Lee urges us to create the web we want which is leagues away from the one we have. And this web is for everyone.
