I understand your point and certainly sympathize with it. A counterpoint, I suppose, is that the old internet may have still informed you about the plight of marginalized people in a foreign country. And if you were a good person, you might care, and learn more, and see if there was anything you could do which might help. The new internet does this as well, but along with it is the modern scarlet letter: the plague of judgement, outrage, and moral hysteria. It's a technological "Scarlet Letter" or "Rape of the Lock." Importantly, it's not just that I personally might want to escape these things, it's that society as a whole is being transformed by them. Is it good that people can apparently easily be manipulated in Burma by Facebook groups? For sure, there is some good with the bad. I'm not suggesting that the modern internet doesn't do any good for people. But, it brings with it all the problems of society.
