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

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
