72"Free Reading"World Wide Web"

"World Wide Web"

From the text I read about the World Wide Web Creator World Wide Web, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, has warned of three major Internet dangers, and how people abuse the Internet. The first danger is that companies and websites create fake news just to make money, or change people's political opinions. He said the fake news "spread like wildfire". The second danger is political advertising. Ads are used with "unethical ways" to stop voters from voting or sending them to fake news. His last concern was the misuse of personal data. He said some governments are killing people because of the sites they visit. Berners-Lee invented the net in 1989. He wanted to put, "a fair degree of data control back into the hands of people". He also wants to stop the government from misusing the data, which he says affects free speech. And he wants to fight fake news. He asked all internet users to help.
