the funds generated by these public data labs would be reinvested into areas such as the welfare state, nimble start—ups that are trying to innovate? wouldn't they be crushed under the weight of such big public regulators? the fight to regain control of our data is also being taken up by none other than the inventor of the world wide web himself, who's now reassessing some aspects of his invention. we thought that all we had to do was to make it free and open, and good things would happen, and humanity would create good things, ‘cause we had great faith in humanity. and now, we realise, actually, just making the infrastructure of the web and internet free and open isn‘t enough. his idea is to create an open operating system, called solid, which sits on top of the current world wide web, which users will access through normal web browsers. here, every single piece of our data that‘s created will be stored in our own pods. each pod can connect and share information with pods belonging to other users, if we choose, or even with apps and organisations. so instead of the big data companies
