It's curious that this was flagged and removed so quickly from the front page.
What's the problem?
I don't agree with the author's take. But Tim Berners-Lee is not above criticism. These are fair questions to ask about his motivations and track record.
Moreover Berners-Lee can put his decades of celebrity behind his views, and get access to megaphones like the New York Times. There is no conceivable threat posed by this dude and his Tinyletter page.

Sorry HN mods, think you got this one wrong.
