Our Advisory Board has published a Draft Note for W3C's Vision

"Technology is not neutral; new technologies enable new actions and new possibilities, and we must take responsibility to address the actual impact of our work...

W3C’s Vision for the World Wide Web

The Web is for all humanity.

The Web is designed for the good of its users.

The Web must be safe for its users.

There is one interoperable world-wide Web."

@w3c To express that in a slightly less snarky fashion: we all know that EME was shoe-horned through the process at the behest of your largest corporate members.

That's okay, in the sense that one would expect an industry body to represent the positions of its members.

What's not okay, is to fail to call that out in your vision, and try to whitewash conflicts between those members' positions and the good of your users.

Why not add another point to your Vision - that the World Wide Web is useful to your members as a commercial content delivery platform?

Then at least we can have honest discussions about the Web as a platform, & your vision for it.

@w3c so then you’re abandoning the Encrypted Media Extensions DRM bullshit then? Or is this just a “thoughts and prayers” kind of thing?

@w3c How does EME fit into any of those points?
