You want the internet to degrade to a centrally-controlled, one-way medium rather than enabling the kind of dialogue you and I are having right now?

This is arguably how it has always been. Never before have we had such great resources to see through things. Sometimes, what we end up seeing makes us uncomfortable, because the world isn't as nice as we would like for it to be. We can either accept truths and work to change them to be better, or accept pleasant fictions and outright lies to spare ourselves.

Deleting the internet won't solve any of these issues. Well, it might help teen bullying some....
