We all believe that you can ruin your marriage on the internet.
But no one believes you can have a thriving, healthy marriage on the internet.
So here we find a medium whose potential for destruction is far greater than its potential for construction.
It’s not reductive to place the internet in this specific ethical dilemma. The internet itself is ever-eager to push towards this kind of thinking and use-case whenever we traverse its shallow streams.
I'm not saying don't ever use the internet (this blog would be much shorter-lived if I believed that). But we should absolutely treat it as more of a sword then a shovel. A sword could defend or restrain harm from those unable to protect themselves, but it has startlingly little constructive capacity, even when conquerors try to justify the ends of their peace-making by the means of a sword.
