World Wide Web Foundation is Shutting Down

The two founders thank their supporters over the years who 'have enabled us to move the needle in a big way' with regard to access and affordability. But the issues facing the web have changed, they insist, and the foundation believes other advocacy groups can take it from here. Chief among the more pressing problems, claim Sir Tim and Leith, is the social media business model that commoditized user data and concentrates power with platforms, contrary to Sir Tim's original vision for the web. To address that threat, Sir Tim intends to dismantle his foundation so he can focus on decentralized technology. 'We, along with the Web Foundation board, have been asking ourselves where we can have the most impact in the future,' the authors say. 'The conclusion we have reached is that Tim's passion on restoring power over and control of data to individuals and actively building powerful collaborative systems needs to be the highest priority going forward. In order to best achieve this, Tim will focus his efforts to support his vision for the Solid Protocol and other decentralized systems.' Read more of this story at Slashdot.
