Pretty much all countries have governments and the internet and I'd say it tends to end in annoyance rather than disaster, such as having to turn on a vpn to see junk on imgur in this case.
The only actual internet caused disaster I can think of - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rohingya_genocide https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rohingya_genocide - was caused by a lack of regulation and "let's kill them all" stuff on facebook. 25k+ dead.
- SideburnsOfDoom 1y agoEverything that Cambridge Analytica did is another good example [1]. Granted that it doesn't rise to the level of a "25k+ dead disaster", but it's not nothing, it's a lot of bad things. And it also stems from lack of regulation, not from the opposite. As will other examples. 1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambridge_Analytica#Elections https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambridge_Analytica#Elections
