Tim Berners-Lee on the future of the internet, 'fake news,' and net neutrality
&gt; [The internet] can be lent to a propagation of wonderful sort or the propagation of hatred.<p>Key word that ruins this sentence: &quot;or&quot;.<p>The internet can be, and <i>is</i>, lent to propagation of <i>both</i> wonder <i>and</i> hatred.<p>If you want to avoid hatred, you don&#x27;t get rid of it, you <i>categorize</i> it. Give hatred its own space <i>separate</i> from wonder, and wonder can flourish.<p>Hatred and wonder are, in fact, tightly related. More often than not, wonderful things are created out of <i>hatred</i> for the status-quo. Without hatred, how can we progress?<p>This is why the internet must be neutral and open, why free speech must be protected no matter how hateful or obscene people are. To do otherwise is to limit wonder.
