Misleading headline. Read the article before commenting.

Goldberg: Is this new malevolent information architecture bending the moral arc away from justice?

Obama: I think it is the single biggest threat to our democracy.

This is the quote. He is talking about disinformation. He didn't say it in the context of "the Internet".

Kind of ironic in the end.

The quote is about the information architecture, i.e. the mechanisms behind widespread disinformation: social media platforms that allow users to live in a bubble. Of course they are not literally The Internet, but many non-technical people experience it this way.
