It’s today’s rotten reality of minimal justice online. It’s the out-of-control, mass-victimization of Americans via cybercrime, attacks, harassment, and fentanyl-deaths enabled by U.S. Internet unaccountability policy. It’s also what goaded the Supreme Court to hear two Section 230 cases concerning Big Tech’s criminal liability for hosting illegal activity.
Are Americans and America better off now than before the 1996 ‘Wild West’ Internet policy experiment of minimal government online? In today’s trying times, it’s a fair and necessary question to ask. Reason and evidence reveal the answer.
Christianity is declining in America. Its root cause is outdated U.S. Internet unaccountability policy that imposes amoralism, a doctrine of not caring about right and wrong.
How can so many things be going wrong in America at the same time? Only one cause-effect dynamic is as universal, and time and technology are coincident. That cause-effect is the 1990’s internet “unaccountability” policy and its outcomes.
How did America and Americans regress to being much less secure than before the Internet? Everyone knows the many amazing conveniences, benefits, and advances the Internet has enabled. What everyone doesn’t know is how irrational the Internet’s utopian founding premises have proven to be concerning America’s and Americans’ security over the last quarter century.
An “unfettered free and open Internet” policy originally made sense to nurture a promising nascent Internet experiment. But as the past quarter century has proven, a permanent trajectory of anarchic impunity to harm others for a mature Internet is mindless madness.
