    Another aspect here is that some people wouldn’t be around in here or other aligned spaces if they didn’t have access to the internet. In my personal experience of being a homeschooled church kid, I probably would’ve ended up being a straight up christian conservative if I didn’t have access to the internet. It is a bit of an oversimplification, but it is true to a degree.

      Counter-point: won’t they just start using small websites like this one instead? I remember interneting before social media, there’s always anything you’re looking for on a website too small for Australia to know about.
