This is a serious moment for the web’s future. But I want us to remain hopeful. The problems we see today are bugs in the system. Bugs can cause damage, but bugs are created by people, and can be fixed by people. 1/9

My message to all web users today is this: I may have invented the web, but you make it what it is. And it’s up to all of us to build a web that reflects our hopes & fulfils our dreams more than it magnifies our fears & deepens our divisions. 6/9

What can web users do? Get involved. Care about your data. It belongs to you. If we each take a little of the time we spend using the web to fight for the web, I think we’ll be ok. Tell companies and your government representatives that your data and the web matter. 7/9

The data collect by CA wasn't entirely aggregate data. If it had only been aggregate data, they would not have been able to perform their spearfish advertising in such a personalized and targeted way.

You are smart in many ways but this is as impractical as it is silly. Like it or not CIA controls their data about you, for instance. We live in a world of shared experiences, we have data about each other because that's how relationships are built.
