Tim Berners Lee

Bids for a NFT of the original source code for the World Wide Web written by inventor Tim Berners-Lee have soared to $2.8 million (roughly Rs. 20 crores) from an opening price of $1,000 (roughly Rs. 74,000).

The original source code for the World Wide Web that was written by its inventor Tim Berners-Lee is up for sale at Sotheby's as part of a non-fungible token, with bids starting at just $1,000.

Tim Berners-Lee has said the dominance of internet giants is a "fad" that does not have to endure, adding that urgent change was needed to improve a digital divide in young people's online access.

World Wide Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee says Australia's plan to force digital giants to pay media outlets for news content is "unworkable" and undermines a "fundamental principle" of the Internet.

It was on March 12, 1989, that Tim Berners-Lee, working for Europe's physics lab CERN, proposed a decentralised system of information management. That marked the birth of the World Wide Web - today abbreviated as simply 'the web'.

The award, announced Tuesday by the Association for Computing Machinery, marks another pinnacle for the British native.

The 'inventor' of the World Wide Web says that Facebook's Internet.org (now Free Basics) compromises on net neutrality.

"It's time to recognize the Internet as a basic human right," Tim Berners-Lee said.

Lee called for an Internet version of the "Magna Carta", the 13th century English charter credited with guaranteeing basic rights and freedoms.

Tim Berners-Lee said China will dismantle its 'great firewall' itself, to boost the country's economy

The British inventor of the World Wide Web accused Western governments of hypocrisy in spying on the Internet.
