Berners-Lee called on the US and UK governments to release more raw data on the web.

Berners-Lee publicly opposed the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA), citing concerns about censorship and their potential impact on the open and innovative nature of the Web.

Berners-Lee has been an outspoken advocate for net neutrality, the principle that all internet traffic should be treated equally. He opposes any attempts by internet service providers to prioritize or discriminate against certain types of content or applications. "Neutrality is essential for innovation."

Berners-Lee co-founded Inrupt and Solid, a decentralized web platform project aimed at giving users more control over their data. "He argues that the current model, where personal data is siloed in different companies, is inherently flawed and leads to privacy violations and data manipulation."
