The Internet As The Root Of All Evil
from the it's-evil,-i-tell-you...-evil dept
The Register has an article pointing out the modern media's obsession with giving the internet too much credit in one direction or the other. Either it's the root of all evil, or it's the savior of the world. It goes on to point out a number of these "the internet is evil" news articles that have been appearing recently. Of course, we've seen this all before, but it's a nice little summary piece to remind you just how easy it is to write about the "evils" of the internet, which is certainly a more interesting story than "hey, this internet thing is a useful tool".
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
