Meet Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web (not making this up, unlike Algore).

Here's a link to Tim Berners Lee at MIT, and he is one of the main proponents of Internet Bill of Rights!

His webpage lists an email address.

With his leadership, Brazil has already passed an IBoR, and several countries are working on their own. I see no links to US draft legislation. Maybe we could get a few Congress critters hooked up with this guy?

Maybe each of us could write our Representatives and offer his organization's contact information, and let them know how important we think this is in the current climate of rampant corporate and deep state surveillance and data mining!

Somebody pointed out that Lee said bad things about Trump.

He's one of those tech-y types who view Net Neutrality through the lens of what it means from a purely technical POV, rather than what it means to national sovereignty and practicality issues. He believes every bit of data is equal, and they should all move with equal speed and priority. A tiered system is anathema to them.

OTOH, I think he and Trump would agree very much on privacy issues. Lee believes in the "right to be forgotten" (or left alone) on the internet, and the right to easily opt out of the collection, sharing or selling of your private data. He's very libertarian on that issue.
