It's way easier to use cybernetic social control methods on the internet, basically by design, due to the way computers and networks are organized under hierarchal systems that privilege "trusted" entities like DNS servers and T1 Lines. There are beamsplitters in T1 facilities that can be used for wiretapping, as well as massive datacenters that systematically analyze unencrypted data and encrypted metadata in order to research social/behavior patterns among groups and individuals of interest online.
Also Tor was developed and is partially maintained by the US govt. They allowed civilian users onto the system because it obfuscates their own participation.
The Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) of the U.S. Department of Defense awarded contracts in 1969 for the development of the ARPANET project, directed by Robert Taylor and managed by Lawrence Roberts. ARPANET adopted the packet switching technology proposed by Davies and Baran, underpinned by mathematical work in the early 1970s by Leonard Kleinrock at UCLA.
Because we've been habituated to using the internet to alleviate alienation and communists saturate the west about as densely as the active ingredients in a homeopathic remedy.

So… why do we still use this website again?
Because going insane by yourself is lonely?
