“Faith in the internet”. That’s an odd way to phrase it

“Praise be the world wide web!”? 🙏🖥️

Are they using it less?

Good. It’s become a cesspit.

There’s a great comment about prior of addictions. Cigarettes gambling etc. How in the past big money lobbied to ensure consumers were exposed to their message. How they were manipulated. It feels particularly relevant.

They don’t just own the products now they own the platforms that infiltrate every aspect of so many people’s lives. And they simply can’t be trusted not to manipulate…either for money or power.

We as a society society have decoupled from religion, from traditional media etc in the past. Viva la revolution.
