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

@w3c Nu HTML Checker hasn’t had a release in 4 years. Is there plans to do that or is there a particular verson that is recommended to use when self hosting it?

Thanks.

W3C tech in the news: "Google Is Now Indexing EPUB Files"

"Google announced that it is now indexing .epub documents, a format commonly used to print books for e-readers. Google is already showing EPUB books in the search index.

EPUB is an XML-based eBook publishing format based on a standard developed by the International Digital Publishing Forum, which in 2016 was subsequently merged with the World Wide Wide Web Consortium (W3C)."

@w3c Soon to be followed by Google AI plagiarizing copyrighted books.

@w3c TIL they weren't before. Good! Too bad search results are already drowning in a sea of generated garbage...

At our recent AC meeting Hiroshima, Japan 🇯🇵 Yosuke Kaneko, President of the Interplanetary Networking Special Interest Group (IPNSIG), spoke on his thoughts about connecting humanity even beyond the limits of our world.

He spoke about the potential to create a communications network from Earth to the Moon, and even to Mars 🌎 🌖 ✨

Does IPNSIG have anything to do with @ipfs? Because one of their goals is exactly what the video describes.

I think a BitTorrent/IPFS type approach would be useful for dealing with round trip delays etc. If there's, say, a node on Mars seeding an Earth website, the people living there wouldn't have to wait 40 minutes to load it.

W3C in the news: "The fediverse, explained" at The Verge

"But all of this stuff only works if there is a standard, and I’d bet $10 that ActivityPub is going to be that standard. It’s the one that’s overseen by the World Wide Web Consortium, it’s the one with the most momentum"

Tim Berners-Lee invented the Web and Vint Cerf invented the Internet. Some people often talk about one but mean the other.

They once wore custom-made t-shirts to help identify which invention was theirs! #aboutW3C

a picture of Tim Berners-Lee and Vint Cerf standing next to each other in front of a green and blue curtain. Tim, on left, is a smiling man with light hair. He's wearing a blue tshirt that says "I didn't invent the internet". Vint Cerf, a smiling man with a white beard, is on the right. He is wearing a white button up shirt and over it, a blue tshirt that says "I did not invent the Web"

@w3c So the avenging dragon of the library gods only has two heads? I’d expect at least 7-12.
