The internet is not a conscious entity, it’s a medium. You probably think that this statement makes you sound anti-hip (which would then make you hip), but I think you’re referring to how ‘people’ conduct themselves.

I really hate cold callers, but I wouldn’t say I really hate how the telephone conducts itself, because that would’ve only been cool in the era after alexander bells’ invention became mainstream

If you’re referring to how people collectively discuss an issue (because they have the internet that allows them to), then yes it’s right to prevent bad intentions. If someone is waving a gun around, the police should prevent them. You don’t have to wait for them to shoot someone. Intention is still a crime, such as attempted murder
