Tim Berners-Lee Calls PRISM 'Shocking' on Private Social Platform
Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, is calling the National Security Administration's Internet surviellance program "shocking" on a little-known social platform called State.
PRISM is "an affront to right of privacy, and an overreach of government power," Berners-Lee wrote in the opening post of a thread on State, which is still in closed alpha with a few thousand people. The vast majority of other State users who have posted in the thread agree with Berners-Lee's characterization, per the site's data.
