Tim Berners-Lee says Facebook 'threatens' web future

Media monitoring on Tim Berners-Lee's remarks on the closed Web (as against his vision of an open web) based on his Scientific American essay:

"# Threats to the Internet, such as companies or governments that interfere with or snoop on Internet traffic, compromise basic human network rights.
# Web applications, linked data and other future Web technologies will flourish only if we protect the medium’s basic principles."

    Extract:
    In an essay published in Scientific American, Berners-Lee said that the Web is affected by elements that have ‘begun to chip away at its founding principles’, reports the Sydney Morning Herald.
    Social networking sites that do not allow users to extract the information they put into them is a ‘problem’ that could mean the web is ‘broken into fragmented islands’, he said.
    Although Facebook recently began allowing users to download profile information, including status updates and photos, it has been roundly criticised for leaving users'' networks of contacts ‘walled’ inside its own site.
