Seems to me that Sir Tim Berners-Lee would be the best placed person to showcase what he thinks the web should, or shouldn’t be.
Hence my signing up to this: https://contractfortheweb.org/
It places the various responsibilities at three doors, governments, businesses and individuals.
If we all do the right thing, by this contract, then the web will continue to be the valuable data source it has been for 30 years.
If we let situations like “fake news” or other duplicitous mechanisms (factcheckUK anyone?) to pervade the web, then nothing is trustworthy and the web will fail.
Do your bit, sign up and share.
