The guy who gave away the internet for free has THOUGHTS about who's ruining it now.
Foreveryone.net connects the future of the web with the little-known story of its birth. In 1989, 33-year-old computer programmer Tim Berners-Lee invented the world wide web and his visionary decision to make it a free and accessible resource sparked a global revolution in communication. Tim has declared internet access a human right and has called for an “online Magna Carta” to protect privacy and free speech, extend connectivity to populations without access and maintain “One Web” for all. Tim’s dramatic story poses the question: will we fight for the web we want or let it be taken away?

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Tim Berners-Lee never patented the web; CERN officially released it into the public domain in 1993. He literally said 'this is for everyone' and meant it.
The 'online Magna Carta' framing isn't just poetic—Berners-Lee founded the World Wide Web Foundation in 2009 specifically to fight for digital rights as the next frontier of human rights.
