I disagree. The connectivity of the internet still has the ability to shine the light on the darkness. The problem is that, writ large, we don't care. (me included, we just post a grumble online and get back to our lives)

Look at all the disinformation that you will see on the "news" channels (both sides) and "news" sites (which have replaced paper). Faux outrage is extremely profitable and as long as that is true, there will be no news, just infotainment click-bait for profit.
