Web founder says Facebook a danger

The man credited with inventing the internet has lashed out at Facebook and other social networking sites saying they are moving the web away from its founding principles.

In an essay in Scientific American magazine, Tim Berners-Lee says social networking sites are tightly controlling the information put on there by users meaning the internet's being split into fragmented islands.

Berners-Lee said there is a chance Facebook could become so big that it could limit innovation.
