The late 90s internet was filled with predators, skeeziness, and viruses that would break your computer and require a reformatting.
That stuff is still there if you look for it, but it's not on your social media feeds or in any of the apps provided through app stores.

- Forgeties79 8mo agoYeah I don’t understand what these other people are saying. There are definitely more barriers to harming your computer online now than there were 20 years ago. Even just email clients preemptively flagging suspicious emails is a huge leap lol
