Just model the internet as Printing Press 2 and the answers to all this stuff becomes obvious 1) Improved communication tech increases short-term chaos/conflict 2) Good luck putting that genie back in the bottle 3) Probably going to be a good thing in the long-termhttps://twitter.com/clairlemon/status/1453089155517349894 …

nothing approaching absolute free press existed before maybe 1990s america. not even sure about this and even then, maybe part of the reason that printed material got nearly total freedom was that it was deprecated by other new media (which were heavily regulated)

Def not claiming that printed material was totally unrestricted, but that: 1) trying to ban printed mat doesn't seem to have been a very effect strategy for conflict reduction 2) countries/cultures which did do better at not adopting/banning the new tech were outcompeted
