The W3C @tag has published a Statement of Ethical Web Principles to guide the community to build a better web.

@torgo and @wz43rtx noted:

The web is a fundamental part of our lives, shaping how we work, connect, and learn. We understand that with this profound impact comes the responsibility to ensure that the web serves as a platform that benefits people and delivers positive social outcomes. 1/4

The Ethical Web Principles are as much a guide in ethical thinking across the web industry as they are a guide for the work of the W3C community by providing a concise set of principles to assist spec developers, authors, and reviewers in their work.

Furthermore, the document outlines how we, as an organization, define the power and purpose of the web, from an ethical standpoint.

These principles are not merely theoretical; they constitute a call to action. 2/4
