For this purpose, the W3C developed twelve basic ethical rules. The organization demands privacy and security of personal data. Users should be aware of the consequences at all times when providing their data. Overall, the web should not harm society and should be accessible to everyone around the world.
The W3C also calls for sustainable use of resources. Providers should reduce the use of computing power and storage space and keep devices usable for as long as possible through backward compatibility. The web must also be equally accessible across different devices, operating systems, and browsers. It is important to prevent centralization of the web in large companies. Users should also be able to install browser extensions and block unwanted content such as scripts or advertisements. W3C founder Tim Berners-Lee also recently called for more privacy and a decentralized web.
