I keep seeing post after post about it saying if you donโ€™t know whatโ€™s happening you arenโ€™t โ€œwokeโ€ so I assume the world wonโ€™t really be ending but what ARE they doing today that has everyone so up in arms? Science Facts

Editing for the few people who keep calling me dumb in the comments: I knew that it wasnโ€™t going to end the world or release โ€œdemonsโ€. I was just confused on what was going on with it that had everyone freaking out, I apologize for lack of context.

This is Andy Yen, CEO of Proton, and Samuele Kaplun, CTO of Proton VPN. Our mission is to make privacy and internet freedom a reality for everyone.

Recently, the New York Times did an in-depth story about our fight for Russiaโ€™s Internet by developing [our Stealth protocol](https://protonvpn.com/blog/stealth-vpn-protocol/) an advanced technology that bypasses many forms of government censorship.

The fight, however, for the internet happens all over the world in places like [China](https://protonvpn.com/blog/great-firewalll-china/), Hong Kong, Iran, and beyond.

Our VPN team is in a continuous cat-and-mouse game, going up against governments with billions of dollars behind them that fund censorship technology. We hope it will have a happy ending, but itโ€™s not guaranteed. These countries block us, we fight back and win, then they block us again.

We keep going because access to the internet is a fundamental human right and it's crucial to preserving freedom online. If organizations and privacy-first companies like Proton donโ€™t fight for it, then maybe nobody else will.

Hereโ€™s our proof: https://imgur.com/a/2npJcTD

AMA.

EDIT: Thanks everybody who participated, it was really a pleasure to speak with all of you, but as it is past midnight in Geneva now, we will be signing off. However, you can join our subreddits on r/ProtonVPN, r/ProtonMail, and r/ProtonDrive. !lock

Hello all!

Weโ€™re at CERN today celebrating the 30th anniversary of the invention of the World Wide Web by Sir Tim Berners-Lee, and weโ€™re delighted to join you for this AMA.

In alphabetical order, we are:

  • Jean-Franรงois Groff: Web pioneer and entrepreneur; I helped Tim Berners-Lee develop the World Wide Web technology

  • Lou Montulli: Web pioneer and entrepreneur, author of the Lynx browser, founding engineer at Netscape

  • Peggie Rimmer: Direct supervisor of Tim Berners-Lee at CERN, when he invented the Web

  • Ben Segal: Internet promotor at CERN, Tim Berners-Leeโ€™s mentor

  • Andreas Wagner: Lead of the CERN Web Frameworks section; I have worked on CERN Web Services since 1998

Unfortunately, Frรฉdรฉric, Franรงois and Zeynep are unable to participate due to last-minute conflicts! Zeynep has however responded to one of the questions posed during the AMA, and Frรฉdรฉric has responded to another.

  • Zeynep Tufekci: Techno-sociologist, writer, assistant professor at the University of North Carolina, faculty associate at Harvardโ€™s Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society

  • Frรฉdรฉric Donck: Chief Regional Bureau Director for Europe for the Internet Society

  • Franรงois Flรผckiger: Early Internet promotor in Europe; I led the CERN Web team after Sir Tim Berners-Lee left

Facebook event proof | Twitter proof

We will take your questions about the Web, its history and its future between 16:30 and 18:00 CET (UTC +01). Ask us anything!

Disclaimer: We are answering the questions in our personal capacities and none of the opinions expressed here necessarily represent those of CERN itself.


About the World Wide Web | Watch โ€œA brief history of the Webโ€

Tim Berners-Lee, a British scientist, invented the World Wide Web (WWW) in 1989, while working at CERN. The Web was originally conceived and developed to meet the demand for automated information-sharing between scientists in universities and institutes around the world.

The first website at CERN โ€“ and in the world โ€“ was dedicated to the World Wide Web project itself and was hosted on Berners-Lee's NeXT computer.

On 30 April 1993, CERN put the World Wide Web software in the public domain. Later, CERN made a release available with an open licence, a more sure way to maximise its dissemination. These actions allowed the Web to flourish.

About CERN

CERN is the European Laboratory for Particle Physics, located in Geneva, Switzerland. It was established in 1954, and will celebrate its 65th anniversary this year.

EDIT: Thank you for all your questions! It has been fun, but we have to sign off now. Visit cern.ch/web30 for updates on the Web@30 celebrations! The recording from this morning's panels will be up there soon.


EDIT 2: We reached out to Zeynep and Frรฉdรฉric after the AMA had ended to respond to two highly upvoted questions. However, we cannot respond to any follow-up questions. Once again, thank you for joining us!
