    No one needs the internet outside of work. The moment I’m forced to show my ID or get my face scanned, I’m done for good.

      No one needs the internet outside of work.

      As someone with a disability (and no car), the internet has played a massive role in allowing me to live independently, which in turn has a profoundly positive impact on my mental health. There are a wide variety of circumstances in which the internet has enhanced life experience - let’s not throw the baby out with the bathwater.

        I’m sorry. I suppose I should have said “I don’t need the internet outside of work.”

          All good! There’s probably far more people in your boat than mine; it was a pretty natural conclusion to draw 🙂
