Here is another perspective: In the 2000s, many of us were children and teens. Now we’re not, and definitely don’t want our own kids to be exposed to the same Internet as we were back then… People romanticize that time way more than it deserves. I’m not a fan of censorship, but there’s a case to be made for reasonable adults deciding the ground rules. Case in point: Twitter.

> Now we’re not, and definitely don’t want our own kids to be exposed to the same Internet as we were back then… Eehhh speak for yourself. I wish the young generation could experience the free and open and wild Internet that I did in the 90s and 00s... Now they're stuck with ~10 websites run by giant megacorporations and "adults deciding the ground rules"... Give the kids some credit, they're smarter than you think..

  >I wish the young generation could experience the free and open and wild Internet that I did in the 90s and 00s... Those were exhilarating and heady times for many teenagers and children, to be sure, but you don't have any children of your own, do you?

    I have kids and I wish they could have the old web, warts and all it was a much better place for learning and connecting than what we have now.
