The internet saved our @$$es.

Maybe it did, but the question is whether it is still a tool capable of saving our asses or a tool more capable of ruining us. I guarantee that the intel agencies are working hard on a way to co-opt X and everything else as we speak.

I have often thought that returning to the old bulletin board style of communication may be the solution, using VPN tunnels rather than dial-up, to weed out the intel agencies, but nothing is perfect.

Pre-internet, we were boned because too many people trusted the media without question. If we were ever to go back to that, yeah we're screwed. I would hope that we wouldn't go back to that, but we do suffer from a preponderance of the stupid, gullible, and lazy.

Nah.

Not as long as Elon Musk is running it.
