Berners-Lee is considered a "good guy" in the libertarian sense. His plan would work to stop giant corporations or NGOs from censoring content. The people who invented the Internet and subsequently "The Web" were freedom loving "libertarian" types, not SJWs. The whole idea of Google, Facebook, and Twitter is abhorrent to the pioneers.

The internet is already inherently open and distributed. People gravitate to sandboxes like google and facebook because they make it easy for non-technical people to do stuff on the internet. Instead of managing your own website where you put your pictures, you upload them to facebook and voilà, there they are. No need to make a web page, worry about backups, figure out how to do access control, etc. etc. It’s all done for you. For free (or so it seems). I am not sure how this proposal changes that.

That stuff degenerated with the iphone, when apps started replacing the web the way AOL wanted it.
I never use the apps

And let us remember AOL censorship is why Freerepublic was born, but with AOL iphone type apps, they are fighting back
