Berners-Lee: ISPs must not track customers
The man dubbed the "father of the Web" says consumers need to be protected against systems that can track their activity on the Internet.
Sir Tim Berners-Lee, creator of the World Wide Web, said he would change his Internet provider if it introduced such a system.
In an interview with the BBC, Berners-Lee said he did not want his ISP to track which Web sites he visited.
"I want to know if I look up a whole lot of books about some form of cancer that that's not going to get to my insurance company and I'm going to find my insurance premium is going to go up by five percent because they've figured I'm looking at those books," he said.
