Saying the web started at CERN is about as much intelligent as saying the internet was originally a US military communications network.

But nobody here denied that the US military has contributed to the Internet we're using for this very discussion. Someone did, however, claim that "GDPR cookies are the EU's only contribution to the WWW!", either ignoring or ignorant of the fact that the Web was invented at the EU-funded (and -founded?) CERN.

So your equivalence is invalid.
