Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee wants us to 'ignore' Web3: 'Web3 is not the web at all.'
While breaking our personal data out of Big Tech's clutches is an ambition shared by Berners-Lee, he's not convinced blockchain, the distributed ledger technology that underpins cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, will be the solution.
"Blockchain protocols may be good for some things but they're not good for Solid," a web decentralization project led by Berners-Lee, he said. "They're too slow too expensive and too public. Personal data stores have to be fast, cheap and private." "Ignore the Web3 stuff, random Web3 that was built on blockchain," he added. "We're not using that for Solid."
Berners-Lee said people too often conflate Web3 with "Web 3.0," his own proposal for reshaping the internet. His new startup, Inrupt, aims to give users control of their own data, including how it's accessed and stored. The company raised $30 million in a funding round in December,Berners-Lee says that our personal data is siloed by a handful of Big Tech platforms, like Google and Facebook, that use it to "lock us into their platforms.
"The result was a big data race where the winner was the one corporation that controlled the most data and the losers were everybody else," he said.A global "single sign-on" feature that lets anyone log in from anywhere.A "common universal API," or application programming interface, that lets apps pull data from any source.
