    Thing is, the Internet at its core is just a vastly interconnected network. That’s it. All the effects of the Internet are direct consequences of that fundamental property, and time.

    The technological architecture that supports the complexity of modern civilization? The direct consequence of interconnectivity × time. QAnon? The direct consequence of interconnectivity × time.

    You can’t restrain the bad without crippling the good.

      Nothing about what you said invalides my point.

      Not every human transaction has to be made over the internet. Other technology’s are sufficient and do not cripple society.

        That part. “People should…” is an impotent sentiment. How do you incentivize, or force, a regression to “sufficient” technology? How do you do so without affecting beneficial network technology?
