Most governments have been disseminating the information in many other media channels along with the internet. Aside from one or two beneficial articles I read about COVID-19 on the web, I don't think I have received any crucial information there. The internet could have been used as a tool to mobilise people against gross government negligence involved in handling COVID-19 response in many countries, but instead most critical pieces of government response were just consumed as outrage porn they were, in part, written to be. Overall, I have learned nothing useful about the pandemic from the internet, and I have been consuming a lot of what was on there, reading all the major news outlets and big forums daily like a lot of us. This is not to say that one could not possibly use internet for good in COVID-19, just that it hasn't been used that way, generally.
