I mean think about it for a second

You have an MP

You want to know everything public about them

You can search that in seconds now

my mp is a drunk

20 years ago that was basically impossible

I don't even need the internet to tell me that

Youd need to find a book

or more realistically someone who knows them

It would require big brother style system to bring the internet under control

and is willing to talk

but i would never have known which way he votes till now

Now you can tell if a politician is serial lier

a flip flopper

etc

naa, not even a big brother style system could chain the internet

Look at china

people can still use the outside internet

yeah, it does make it much easier to educate yourself as to how your MP is actually acting

exactly

Chinese people still make memes

The internet is a chinese finger trap

The more you try to regulate it

the more it adapts and changes

to avoid it

and prevent it in the future

the only way to control the internet would be to destroy it.

Which is literally impossible

ergo it cannot be chained

So long as there is a fucking tablet somewhere

you can connect to it

it is scary at times

I look it at like a 17th century guy would look at jet aircraft

Seems scary

yeah

but in reality there is much more coming

and it is ultimately a good thing

yeah, ultimately it is good. Just a shame some people can't use it correctly.

like all the people playing with cancel culture atm.

When was the last time people were good at something first time

You have to fuck up to improve the future
