The internet didn't create new problems. It made it so the problems were visible. I know a bunch of nerds boomers and genXers who talk about how it use to be a mono culture, but really, you could only know the people in your own little corner.
Did the internet and personal recording devices make police brutality worse or just more visible? I remember when teachers weren't use to half their students having flip phones that could record audio and oh boy, the causal and not so causal racism directed at the students was insane.
