Abstract
The World Wide Web Foundation, founded by Tim Berners-Lee in 2009, has announced its closure after 15 years of working towards a safer and more accessible internet. Initially created when only 20% of the world had internet access, the organization played a crucial role in addressing threats like scams and malware. Berners-Lee will now focus on developing the Solid Protocol for a more open and decentralized evolution of the web, as other organizations continue to defend the web's principles and users' rights online.
