So, is Mr. Lee a good guy or a bad guy? Could this protect our freedom of speech and our data?

Berners-Lee is considered a "good guy" in the libertarian sense. His plan would work to stop giant corporations or NGOs from censoring content. The people who invented the Internet and subsequently "The Web" were freedom loving "libertarian" types, not SJWs. The whole idea of Google, Facebook, and Twitter is abhorrent to the pioneers.

As a developer I am going to try it out and help test it. Anyone else in?

If anything it is an opportunity to try something new...

The Googles and Facebooks will not be killed with Tim Berners-Lee’s plan, without a financial model developed that would support it.

Nothing is free and if you kill all the data collection (I’d like that) you kill the financial model that makes the size and scale of a Google search engine or a Facebook possible, unless the entire Internet business model goes to paid subscription and/or charitable donations for everything.

Outside of those two things (subscriptions & donations) I don’t know any other business models that will pay for tons of stuff that now depend on data collection and its use for profit.

Could Mozilla run the Google Search engine and keep it going and healthy on donations? Will people pay monthly subscriptions to be part of Facebook, Twitter and many other sites. Those kind of answers, and many others needs to be discovered and laid out so there is a working economic model to make economically possible Tim-Berners-Lee’s technical model. It that does not happen, developers will be developing into an economic vacuum.
