Tim Berners-Lee’s Solid is better suited to privacy in a way because you get to keep all your data on your own server, or a server you designate, and others must ask for it and access is granted based on your choices, which can be fine grained for each piece of data and who can access it. You can designate things for individuals you approve, or groups of people, or groups of groups. But this tech could also be used by companies, governments and ngo's and therein lies the problem. So how will it be used? For our privacy, or for Klaus' social credit system? Only Berners-Lee’s W3c, a "public private partnership", knows, and they keep that answer to themselves.
