- ChrisArchitect 3y ago"real"? If it's not archived or documented on the Internet somewhere, did it really happen?
- wtracy 3y agoOnline shopping has decimated brick-and-mortar retail over the last decade. The Internet had a large influence on the 2016 election in the USA, particularly in getting Trump the Republican presidential nomination. Misinformation about COVID spread across various forums potentially caused thousands of deaths across the USA and Europe in 2020. Facebook had a key role in the 2022 genocide of the Rohingya people in Myanmar. How much more real do you want?
