     @w3c You forgot to add that the position will involve privacywashing your surveillance capitalist members like Google, Facebook, etc.

     You are the standards body of surveillance capitalism, after all.

     @aral If you have beef with surveillance capitalism why take it to @w3c?

     @koalie @w3c Because the @w3c is the standards body of surveillance capitalism. It is Google. It is Facebook. It is Yahoo! It is SoftBank… it is funded by surveillance capitalists and legitimises surveillance capitalism. I’m not sure what exactly about that isn’t clear.

     @aral this is so far from the mark, you should re-evaluate @koalie @w3c

     @koalie @w3c Lies and slander? That’s ironically offensive and inaccurate given I’m just reciting the membership list of the corporations that fund and comprise it. W3C is definitely more that just those 4 surveillance capitalists, yes. It has many more surveillance capitalists (but we have a character limit on some servers here).

     Look, I get it, you work there, they pay your salary, and you’re defending it. Fair enough. But I don’t appreciate your accusations. So, respectfully, goodbye.

     @aral There is so much to gain for a better web for everyone by contributing to @w3c that I can't see any justification to your lies and slander. It can't be just marketing by opposition.
     W3C is more than just these 4 members. With 30 years of tackling all aspects of the Web, and with more to do, W3C is the forum where all good wills can and do make the Web. Members and non-members.
