The historical strawman you're presenting is a wildly inaccurate portrayal of the period you're describing. If you're actually interested in what Internet skeptics were actually focused on in the early days, read Cliff Stoll's books[0]. His second book is where he established himself as the leading thinker on Internet skepticism in the early days, and his first book is where he established himself as one of the most important protectors of the Internet, with his first book work leading directly to many of the digital security and privacy laws and principles we take for granted today. Early Internet skepticism wasn't driven by clueless Luddite thinking, nor was it focused on nonsensical issues. Most of the problems he pointed out in 1995 have only become more serious and more apparent in the intervening years.
