"Three things I’ve intuited from actual experience. - While the libertarian ideal of personal liberty was one of the ideals of the internet it ultimately ended up as data collection device. - The internet is inherently voyeuristic and exhibitionist not just in a sexual way. - The internet was warped our conception of privacy not destroyed but warped it into something that I can’t completely describe or comprehend. I think this documentary does a great job displaying these truths of the internet before it even the internet fully formed into what it is today. Did enjoy would watch again and recommend. "
