>>57987159>Parents actually pay a modicum of attention to what their kids do online now.Lol no. What ruined the Internet was every website wanting your personal info. Back in the day, if anyone asked what your age was, you knew they were a freak and would avoid them. The Internet was treated like the ocean, where it was probably fine to be in, but you didn't really know what was around you, and you still had to be careful. This allowed kids, teenagers, and adults to coexist peacefully because no one knew anything about each other. Everyone was just a "user", and anyone asking for personal info was treated with extreme suspicion. Now, however, you're expected to put your entire identity online, resulting in people losing the casual ability to interact in the same way as they used to. You have to verify you're talking to someone your age, and block them if you're not.
