tIt used to be said that half the Internet traffic was spam email and half was porn.  Is this still a good rough estimate?

And I regard that as total irony.  When it first showed up I thought it would work the opposite--make real information and facts much easier to find and use.  but in those days I did not realize just how stupid the American people really were.

I presume that by now you've upgraded your assessment?

I still think  it is mainly positive--but I must say I did not see the worst part of what the net does.  And the deep net (or dark net--or whatever it is called) is just a big mystery to me.
In my life it is a huge positive.  I can research to my heart's content--for anything and everything.  With my baseball leagues, I can socialize.  And most of all, I love playing games and can now do this any hour of the day or night.  What more could I want???

I doubt it would take millions, Baruch. Dozens, at most, I bet.

Great.  So shut down the Internet with Obama kill switch.  It simply allows too much sedition.  Then everyone gets their news from DNC Single Party Paper.  Emperor Xi will help I am sure.
