I guess you mean:
> A one-size-fits-all internet was supposed to liberate the world. We underestimated the demand for information about how white nationalism is good and vaccines are bad.

- jacknews 7y agoIt's obvious inflammatory hot-button click-bait, and one-sided, targeting the obvious and easy marks, but ignoring other equally culpable elements. I'm rather liberal and have no time for anti-vaxers, racists, homophobes, and other harassers. But if the alt-right has ruined the 'open internet', the PC left, the more extreme elements of 'metoo', various mass-outings/persecutions of less-than-sanctioned-attitudes and so on are at least equally to blame. ie the culture wars are to blame, not any one side. Perhaps the article was in fact more articulate, balanced and nuanced - as I said, the subtitle was enough for me to parse this as just another article inflaming the whole situation and to dismiss it, and I have not, and will not read it.
