Principles for the web

Last week, my friend Sara Joy shared this amazing set of Ethical Web Principles from the W3C with me.
Those principles are…
There is one web The web does not cause harm to society The web supports healthy community and debate The web is for all people The web is secure, and respects peoples’ privacy The web enables freedom of expression The web makes it possible to verify information The web enhances individuals’ control and power The web is an environmentally sustainable platform The web is transparent The web is multi-browser, multi-OS and multi-device People can render web content as they want It feels a bit like a Hippocratic Oath for web devs.

Last week, my friend Sara Joy shared this amazing set of Ethical Web Principles from the W3C with me.

Those principles are…

  1. There is one web
  2. The web does not cause harm to society
  3. The web supports healthy community and debate
  4. The web is for all people
  5. The web is secure, and respects peoples’ privacy
  6. The web enables freedom of expression
  7. The web makes it possible to verify information
  8. The web enhances individuals’ control and power
  9. The web is an environmentally sustainable platform
  10. The web is transparent
  11. The web is multi-browser, multi-OS and multi-device
  12. People can render web content as they want

It feels a bit like a Hippocratic Oath for web devs.

It looks like it’s a draft note, just published sometime in the last three weeks. But damn, does our industry need something like this.

On the W3C website, each principle is explored in a bit more detail. Click here to check out out.
