The W3C publishing ethical web principles is like OPEC publishing ethical climate principles.
Who are the members of the W3C?
Google,
Facebook (Meta),
Amazon,
Adobe,
SoftBank,
Yahoo!,
…
The W3C is the standards body of surveillance capitalism.
Ethical principles? W3C? Don’t make me laugh!
If they had any ethics they’d have expelled their most prominent members starting with Google and Facebook.

You wouldn’t have McDonald’s teaching your kids about nutrition or Philip Morris teaching them about maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Why are you happy having a surveillance capitalist like Google or Facebook teaching them about technology?

Surveillance advertising in Europe: The adtech industry tracks most of what you do on the Internet. This file shows just how much.
The advertising industry has more than 650,000 labels to target people. Reading through them reveals how even the most sensitive aspects of our life are monitored. EU-based data brokers play a vital role in this system.netzpolitik.org
