It depresses me that the World Wide Web, given to everyone for free by Tim Berners-Lee (himself a Brit), is so heavily misused, abused and controlled by corporate and political interests in places like the UK. It was supposed to democratise information for everyone, and for a while - let's say arguably between the foundation of Wikipedia and the early days of Google, until circa 2010 when Facebook surpassed a billion users and Google got rid of its "don't be evil" policy - it seemed like it was doing so.
