Mental Outlaw has a great library of easy digestible content regarding hard-hitting privacy topics. Just discovered their YT channel recently and I’m enjoying it.

Sometimes it feels like the internet is in an unstable equilibrium. A space starts off as a blank slate, not pulled in any particular direction. Then as soon as it gets a critical mass of either miserable jerks or stuck-up prudes, it spirals in that direction until it’s inhospitable to the average person.

People do this for just about anything, unfortunately.

From the most insignificant internet fandom squabble to genocide. Our brains love tribalism, and if we don’t have strong principles of cooperation and peace, it always seems to crop up.
