Sadly, with football, social media sites glorify violence, sectarian bile, dangerous pyrotechnics, etc. So, ever younger kids dress in black and ape the behaviour of their elders.

I'm a software developer and I make a living from the Internet, developing web applications. But I've come to bloody hate the Internet! I cannot now feel it has made the world a better place, although it should have done. Hatred and lies spread far more quickly and powerfully than love and truth.

I’m sure I’ve heard Tim Berners-Lee say very similar.
It’s hard to think that the internet as it is now is quite how many people imagined it would become.

The Internet is a great leveller. Which is +ve and -ve.

The Internet was a lovely place before everyone else came along. I had a wonderful teenage life on Compuserve forums and chat rooms - polite, respectful, and fun.
Nowadays it's just people spouting hatred amongst the occasional good stuff. And Fetch.

A lot of problems would be ameliorated if people read more books.

People on X querying where the riots were when Lucy Letby was killing babies…

Well as I said earlier you'd have to believe Lucy Letby represented a group of people who that were a problem.
