Chesterton's Internet.

The article discusses proposed bills in Congress that aim to restrict children's access to social media and pornography on the internet. While acknowledging the real problems these bills seek to address, such as bullying and exposure to inappropriate content, the author expresses concern about the potential negative consequences of government intervention. They argue that implementing age-verification systems and granting the government power to regulate internet access could fundamentally change the decentralized and unsupervised nature of the internet. The author concludes that the risks of destroying the internet outweigh the benefits of restricting minors' access to certain content. [Extracted from the article]
