The slides from Tess’s presentation on the W3C’s ethical web principles—there’s a transcript too.
Thematically related to the bookmark I posted earlier today: W3C TAG Ethical Web Principles. It’s nice to know that the people shaping the direction of the web are thinking about what can be done to make it better beyond just the technologies.

The slides from Laura’s excellent talk at FF Conf on Friday.
A great presentation from Laura on how tracking scripts are killing the web. We can point our fingers at advertising companies to blame for this, but it’s still developers like us who put those scripts onto websites.
We need to ask ourselves these questions about what we build. Because we are the gatekeepers of what we create. We don’t have to add tracking to everything, it’s already gotten out of our control.
I really, really like these principles. Time to add them to the list.
