Tim Berners Slams NSA

In a surprising move, the inventor of the World Wide Web has heavily criticized cyber espionage campaign by US and termed it dangerous and foolish. Sir Tim Berners-Lee made the comments while speaking to media. He also demanded an open debate of NSA’s activities. “Whistleblowers, and responsible media outlets that work with them, play an important role in society. We need powerful agencies to combat criminal activity online - but any powerful agency needs checks and balances and, based on recent revelations, it seems the current system of checks and balances has failed,” he was reported as saying.
