Tim Berners-Lee and Information Ethics

---

Tim Berners-Lee, the computer scientist and physicist known for inventing the World Wide Web, has also had one of the most successful individual impacts on the standards and ethics that govern the way the World Wide Web is operated today. Even though there were numerous opportunities for him to become rich from his own creation, Berners-Lee has consistently supported making the World Wide Web (WWW) accessible to everyone, with no single ownership or payments for its use. Berners-Lee is the founder of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) whose mission statement is "To lead the World Wide Web to its full potential by developing protocols and guidelines that ensure long-term growth for the Web."[1]
