全球資訊網（WWW）問世28年，「網路之父」伯納李（Tim Berners-Lee）卻憂心忡忡。
Over the past 12 months, I’ve become increasingly worried about three new trends:(1)We’ve lost control of our personal data. (2) It’s too easy for misinformation to spread on the web. (3) Political advertising online needs transparency and understanding.
We must work together with web companies to strike a balance that puts a fair level of data control back in the hands of people. We must fight against government overreach in surveillance laws. We need more algorithmic transparency to understand how important decisions that affect our lives are being made.
In the past year, we have seen Nigerians stand up to a social media bill that would have hampered free expression online. It has taken all of us to build the web we have, and now it is up to all of us to build the web we want – for everyone.
過去12個月，我對三個網路趨勢越來越擔心：1.我們無法控制自己的個資；2.錯誤的訊息充斥網路；3.政治文宣應該更透明和更容易被理解。
我們必須與網路公司取得平衡點，取回合理的個資控制權；要對抗政府逾權的監視法條；也要讓演算法更透明，才能理解那些影響人們生活的重大決定，到底是怎麼形成的。
一年來，奈及利亞人已經開始反抗妨害網路自由言論權的社交媒體法案。我們曾經一起建立起「現有」的網路樣貌，現在更是關鍵時刻，把網路建構成所有人都「想要」的樣貌。
