discuss Has internet united us or divided us?

[Dr. A]

Almost every country in the world is seeing multiple factions with various ideologies that challenges the government's decisions and causes riots or uproar in the country. Internet has a great role in spreading such propaganda and dividing people's mentality and ideologies. Internet was initially thought to unite people but now, is it not dividing us more than uniting us?

I don't think the internet has divided us. It has rather made people to be more aware. Governments of different countries can no longer just hoard information and drive the propaganda they want. Because of this awareness, many people and groups are asking for more accountability from authorities.

The Internet has never divided us but it has fostered better relationships with people across the world. It also increases access to information and encourages better global communication. On the other hand, we cannot deny the fact that it increases the spread of misinformation as well.

It has united us, as well as divided us. Sadly, most people are using it for creating division. During the recent short lived war between India and Pakistan, I came across a lot of content where these creators were basically spreading fake news and hatred.

 

[Maina]

The internet has both united and divided us. It connects people globally, fostering communication and sharing ideas, but it also creates echo chambers and spreads misinformation, which can deepen divisions.

 

[Apsara]

Internet has created more divisions than unification. That's how I see it.
