I remember thinking when I was younger and more naive, that we might not have had the 'war on terror' in Afghanistan or the invasion of Iraq right after, if internet access was more prevalent at the time (or at the least it would have been much more loudly opposed)
This all has made me realize how very foolish that line of thought was
ed. Your comment about things being deleted reminded me of how I was trying to find a specific Reuters article about how Ukraine press-ganged prisoners with military experience into the war very early on; I couldn't find it later, and I doubt I could if I looked now. Just something to add to the pot
Yeah Internet Utopianism was very widespread back in the day, we really thought it would enlighten humanity and bring peace on earth and all that. Total cope on our part, the internet has many upsides and downsides but a lot more negatives IMO
