Millions of people have helped make the Web the amazing, essential thing that it is.

So when the Web turns 25 in 2014, we’ll need millions of people to help secure the Web’s future. We shouldn’t let anybody — governments, companies or individuals — take away or try to control the precious space we’ve built on the Web to create, communicate and collaborate freely.

This was the message from World Wide Web inventor Sir Tim Berners-Lee as he addressed a U.N. gathering in Geneva on Thursday.

Sir Tim used his speech to unveil the Web We Want campaign, a collaboration between Free Press and the World Wide Web Foundation. The campaign is asking everyone, everywhere to play a part in defining the Web’s future. The project hopes to see all countries pass laws that safeguard people’s online rights on a free, open and global Web.
