I understand. The wrong people have used the internet in the wrong ways, and if it wasn't the internet, it would've been something else. Guns were supposed to be manufacturered for hunting and protecting yourself and loved ones, but we already know how the wrong people have used them.
If the internet did shut down, there would likely be those people who would set up some kind of workaround illegal internet system, or black market internet or whatever they'd want to call it. It's like during prohibition, alcohol officially became illegal and what happened? There were plenty of people who then decided to bootleg alcohol and keep it coming under the table. Anything that has had a major influence on people and society whether it's alcohol or the internet, it's then impossible to completely stop it whether it was 100 years ago or now.
Would no more internet improve society?
