The internet is supposed to be the means, not the end. If its design leads to WW III (which it could, and may have already) then its design is wrong. "My family is radioactive, eating canned beans in our fall-out shelter but hooray there's no censorship on Facebook!"

I like to think a few people who are unhappy with changes to Google's search algorithm will start visiting the library instead, but I know that's unrealistic. We complain online all the time about speech issues, but few people give enough of a shit about ideas to take a bus and read a book.
