Berners-Lee takes flak for 'hippie manifesto' that only Google and Facebook could love

"So you may find our encounter from 2007 illuminating."

SEO gaming, what an innocent time. A decade and a bit later, we find two videos circulating about a Q&A session in a recent White House press conference. One has red circles and ding-dong noises all over it and the other has been slowed down and sped up at various points, and both claim to be a true representation of what happened, but of course neither is. Both videos are carried by their standard-bearers and their armies mass around them before charging into battle on the fields of Facebook and Twitter.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't meant to be like this. There's a debate if it should be fixed with a code of conduct or a law, but implementation details aside, how could this example even be fixed in the first place?
