I’m fairly sure he doesn’t understand. Language used makes it sounds he has no clue how html works.

Back in 90s, I was constantly being accused of hacking things just for knowing how to build a website. This was also the era of when the news would run phone polls on whether the Internet should be allowed or not.

I learn to keep my mouth shut about what I could do unless I was sure it was a tech savvy crowd.

This dude brings back a lot of those memories

Given the way things are going, perhaps we should revisit this decision. It seems that there's a population that isn't quite ready for this level of access to [mis]information.

Clearly, people answered those polls incorrectly.

It should definitely not be allowed.

I agree. Only elites should be allowed to use stuff like LSD, computers and the internet. This can be arranged simply by criminalising it; along with a social convention that elites don't get prosecuted. /s

No, no, no. More LSD. Less Internet.
