I saw it a while ago where he said he would have made it harder for things he doesn't like if he could do WWW over, but I can't find the link. I don't bookmark stuff because that was one of malware's favorite things to skim back in the day. Reading this he's talking out of both sides of his mouth. "I want data privacy (Google and Facebook end up poor) but I want Google and Facebook to work harder to 'combat misinformation' (with their ad money I took away, but this isn't going to inhibit free speech, no sir) but I want the web free and open to all (even though any political speech to the right of Ben Shapiro is viewed as misinformation and abuse by Big Tech and governments, and from what I can see, also Tim Berners-Lee)". In retrospect he's implicitly pro-censorship in that he doesn't understand the real-life consequences of his ideals.
