Sir Tim Berners-Lee says yes, we do, if we are going to protect and enshrine the independence of the medium he created. He spoke of his concerns in a recent Guardian interview: Unless we have an open, neutral internet we can rely on without worrying about what’s happening at the back door, we can’t have […]
After months of hand wringing, today Web Directions cut the Gordian knot and published a code of conduct for our events. You can check it out here. Seems like a good idea, you say, why all the hand wringing? Well, it’s a terrible cliche but John and I have long subscribed to the view that […]
