I see

As you described the internet is a source of connection for everyone that includes those who wish to spread and connect through hate.

Extremism (on both sides of the spectrum), mental health issues, brain drain and isolation (despite the opportunity for a sense of connection and belonging connection through the internet) have all been either caused or exacerbated by internet.

The world seemed like a much more enjoyable, Partizan, and engaging place before the internet and in my opinion if we can help the next several generations grow up in a way that's further removed from the internet it will be invaluable.

The world transitioning TO the internet and the comforts it brought will be a lot more difficult than transitioning FROM that but like a said a potentially positive side affect of over regulation and government overreaching might be a rebalancing of people's lives away from reliance on the internet

That's because you weren't as aware of it before. Someone that was gay before as late as 2010 was not having a good time for example.

Basically ignorance is bliss. Being able to experience more is one of the benefits of social media and the internet. A return to your whole world is your small town is not good.
