from tim berners—lee's idea the world wide web was born. for spreading hate and misinformation. i feel for most people out there in the street that the tipping point, to a certain extent, was the cambridge analytica moment. because most people knew that internet privacy was on the other people worried about. and then went the cambridge analytical thing went the cambridge analytical thing went down they realised that elections have been manipulated using data that they had contributed. veitia blame for that? this person got all this data and he got it under the pretext he was going to use it for research purposes. then he actually used it to manipulate an election. i think it was abused and used for another purpose. it is a clear breach. are you optimistic that this can be sorted? am i optimistic in general? i think so. we have a new generation of young people, also, who are pretty active, they are pretty activist about things like their privacy. whereas, to a certain extent, they were not before. that is sirtim extent, they were not before.

this is tim berners-lee talking.here is the balance between leaving the tech companies to do the right thing and regulating them? where is the balance between freedom of speech and hate speech? rep. doyle: i had tim berners-lee in my office on the 30th anniversary, and spoke to him at length. and he has hit the nail on the head, and has also demonstrated how difficult it is to find that balance between free speech and hate speech, between companies just doing the right thing and the need for governments to regulate them when they don't, and to find a balance, like i said earlier, where we protect people's privacy but we don't stifle innovation. do,e are not easy things to but these are the big questions that need to be asked. he is correct when he says that, and that is really going to be the job we have, to make sure we do this in a thoughtful way, that we don't rush into it, that we consider the law of unintended consequences and make sure that if we do decide to come up with a bill or regulation to deal with these

of us who are online feel that our rights and freedoms on not fully protected and respected now tim berners lee says that there are three major sources of dysfunction on the internet today which must be tackled in order to stop its downward plunge to a dysfunctional future not the first that he mentions is the deliberate and malicious intent that we see state sponsored hacking in attacks criminal behavior as well as things like online harassment the second is system design that creates perverse incentives where user value is sacrificed what's that mean while there he's talking about ad based revenue models that commercially reward things like click bait as well as the viral spread of mis information for example now a third issue he brings up has to do with the unintended negative consequences of benevolent design that means the outraged and polarized tone and quality of our online discourse now he's also worried that the internet is at risk of being broken up into different regulatory blocks so there's different regulations based on where you are especially in the u.s. e.u. china and elsewh

tim berners-lee, the father of it said recently that we do not have the web we wanted. do you agree with him? rep. walden: it depends on how you described it. he is indeed the father of the internet. he has testified before our committee before and is a brilliant man. i think there is a lot the internet has brought the world. innovation, education, medical advancements. we all know from competitive shopping opportunities to everything else in terms of social interaction and conductivity in the world, it has been remarkable but it has also brought with it some downsides. some criminal elicit behaviors. i would say degradation of civility as a result of people on social media thinking they are somewhat anonymous so can say really mean and harsh things and bully others. so it has had its downsides, and of course the topic of privacy arises. i think consumers are looking more and more at the apps and saying what are you tracking and where -- are you tracking me? what are you doing with my data? i thought i was buying a product or service and you are selling that to someone

i have the pleasure of introducing our special guest, tim berners-lee. i think all of us in washington are used to people who claim to have invented something important. there are many -- people who claim to have may be inhe internet, this room. one thing is undisputed -- that's undisputed is tim berners-lee created the -- world wide web web. he was looking for a better way to share information with scientists in distant locations. to make a vast role of information universally available ultimately became the world wide web. in 1989 tim's boss called his proposal vague and exciting. today we have a more clearer sense of what the invention could achieve. with more than one billion websites across the globe, the world wide web has transformed the way we communicate, shop, do business, learn, make friends, get dates, eat, sleep, and even exercise. today, as the web nears its 30th anniversary, tim is enlisting help across the globe to maintain the quality and openness of his creation and to use its power for societies good. his current work is focused on pri
