It's like when you have one clock, you know what time it is. When you have two clocks they're always somewhat different, and so you're no longer certain of the time, and have less faith in clocks
The difference is, before the internet you had one or two or three clocks, and they were off by a minute or two.
With the internet, there are seven million clocks, and some show the time for days and places that don't exist.
