The internet and social networks nowadays are probably not a healthy place for people with depression or suicidal tendencies.
This is strange. In the beginning, there was a feeling that the internet would be the ultimate tool to unite like-minded people. It probably is, the question is what like-minded people do when they get together. It can be the wonderful software I'm using or millions of dollars for unethical business.

It probably is, the question is what like-minded people do when they get together. It turns out that the answer is filter bubbles and Twitter mobs. Heterogeneous minds are really a good thing. But overall it's hard to say that the internet is a bad thing. Sure, it came with terrible downsides, but it also brought us as a species forward by quite a bit.
