That’s one of the motivations for the “new” project Tim Berners Lee is working on, Solid. The amount of foresight people working on the web have is crazy. I read an article interviewing Lou Montulli the other day and was amazed to find out how how extensively he thought about the nefarious use of cookies when they were being designed

Funny because when those same people actually had a chance to stop alot of the privacy violating and non-open things in the web they caved to the pressure from Google, and others to make the Web less open, less private, and less free.
Tim Burners Lee was one of those people that caved with HTML5 standard, and several other standards under the W3C

I'm not OP but there is him talking on his blog about cookies:

He doesn't come across as overly prescient there, but there's definitely some of the familiar juggling trade-offs in his design decisions.
It's also why I oppose using social authentication with anything. While we have access to our [Facebook, Twitter, Github, Google, LinkedIn] account today, what happens if they shut it down? We have no clue of the real consequences and no appeals process. It's the worst of both worlds.
