Right now, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the web inventor whos always one step ahead of the digital chaos, is making waves Down Under. CleanTechnica reports he just spoke to The Guardian in Australia, lamenting how profit-hungry commercialization turned his 1989 dream into a toxic playground of addiction and disinformation, but hes rallying activists for a rebellion via his Solid protocol to reclaim user power. No major headlines in the past 24 hours, but last night, Friday January 30, he headlined This is For Everyone at the Sydney Opera House, chatting with University of Sydney Vice Chancellor Mark Scott about his new memoir, drawing packed crowds for tales of webs wild ride from collaboration to polarization, per the City of Sydney whats on site and ArtsHub.

Hes touring hard his books fueling events like the Castlemaine State Festival through February 21 and a February 25 gig at Londons Cadogan Hall with Q&A and book perks. Business-wise, hes doubling down on Inrupt and the Open Data Institute to push decentralized data pods, countering big tech monopolies, as echoed in recent TechXplore analysis. Social media buzz is quiet no fresh X posts or mentions popping, but his AI warnings, calling for a CERN-style containment before its too late, are rippling from that Brisbane interview.
