I think we will all be safer when the pre-internet generation passes from power. I hope so, anyway.

  As an analogy (USA-centric), look at people who were born and raised after the so-called Summer of Love and have grown up to take office or run for sheriff or become judges. While there have been improvements in laws and attitudes regarding drugs and sexuality, we've a long way to go.

    True, except I think there was much more of a divide there. Roughly half were hippies, the other half were ...well whatever the opposite is. Whereas with the Internet, entire generations are involved. There's no ~50/50 divide b/t web-surfing hippies and non-internet-using reactionaries. Everyone is online. The main problem is getting the majority of people in the net generations to understand their rights, how certain things affect them, and to care enough to log of Facebook for a few minutes to do something about it when they're threatened.
