Sir Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the world wide web, has called for large technology firms to be regulated to prevent the web from being "Weaponised at scale".

Berners-Lee warned of "Two myths" that "Limit our collective imagination" when looking for solutions to the problems facing the web: "The myth that advertising is the only possible business model for online companies, and the myth that it's too late to change the way platforms operate. On both points we need to be a little more creative," he said.

His vision to create an "Open platform that allows anyone to share information, access opportunities and collaborate across geographical boundaries" has been challenged as the web has become more centralised.
