The W3C @tag has published a Statement of Ethical Web Principles to guide the community to build a better web.

@torgo@mastodon.social and @wz43rtx noted:

The web is a fundamental part of our lives, shaping how we work, connect, and learn. We understand that with this profound impact comes the responsibility to ensure that the web serves as a platform that benefits people and delivers positive social outcomes. 1/4

The Ethical Web Principles, which build on W3C’s core values and principles in the web and its architecture, are a call to action for the web industry and for W3C itself, aiming to deliver positive social outcomes. As we expand the web platform, we must consider the consequences of our work. As members of the web community, we each play a part in shaping its future.
