In all its political glory, maybe not.
But my reasoning is true and the analogy is valid.
The internet facilitates many positive, good things.
The internet also allows access to many negative, bad things.
This can be said of telephones, radios and our cars for that matter.
If I drive down the road I am likely to see a provocative, even
offensive billboard. I still use the roads, I have just trained myself
to avoid paying attention these signs.
