What the Vanity Fair Article does and doesn't say[edit]

Speaking of the internet being used for telephone games to spread disinformation, I've been reading this article and there doesn't appear to be any direct attribution to Berners-Lee himself claiming he's upset about specifically "Russian interference", Facebook datamining, Amazon facial recognition patents, etc. In fact it's rather confusing what prompt from the interviewer exactly his reaction "I was devastated..." is in reaction to. These passages read like editorializing on Vanity Fair's part and Wikipedia should be cautious attributing the claims to Berners-Lee.129.72.146.108 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:15, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps we need a page on Data Unions ? See https://streamr.network/docs/data-unions/intro-to-data-unions --Genetics4good (talk) 10:44, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No longer at MIT[edit]

I'm not sure how to edit the opening sentence, but just to note that the Solid project is no longer at MIT, see https://solid.mit.edu/ for evidence of this.

The community is now mainly coordinated through Github, Gitter, a W3C Community Group (https://www.w3.org/community/solid/) and "Solid Panels" (https://github.com/solid/process/blob/main/panels.md) that may meet either weekly or irregularly to discuss and decide on the topic of that specific panel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Michielbdejong (talk • contribs) 11:14, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

So maybe something like:

Solid (Social Linked Data)[1] is a web decentralization project led by Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, developed collaboratively by a community of companies and individuals. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Michielbdejong (talk • contribs) 11:18, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
