Well, if that's the only problem then I think we can tone down the sense of urgency because 1) there are much, much bigger problems to deal with in life and 2) the web has become a shithole with its growth in popularity.

That's my opinion of course. I'm guessing that you think Internet access and Internet publishing are basic rights of human existence, but I would disagree with that.

How do you think problems are resolved if not using the internet as a medium to share thoughts with the world? And even if you think it's a 'shithole' you cannot deny how important it is in everyday life. Entire government services are going and have gone online only, and if you were barred from using the internet you'd find it very difficult to exist within modern society.

I don't know you, but I bet given enough information I can find ways the internet are vital to your way of life.
