World Wide Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee unveils radical plan for the fabled 'New Internet' that will decentralize the global system and allow users to take back control of their data from sites like Google and Facebook

The tech legend's startup Inrupt allows people to regulate what personal information they share on the web and how that data is stored

The platform combines the functions of programs such as Google Drive, Microsoft Outlook, Slack, Spotify and WhatsApp - all on one browser, all at once

Inrupt provides tools for users to create personalized PODs to house information such as contact lists, calendar entries and music libraries

Berners-Lee said the intent behind Inrupt is 'world domination'

The platform could upend the models of top tech companies that have come under fire for failing to protect user data in favor of making profits
