This is the problem with people over 50. They didn't grow up with the internet and are unable to tell what is a reputable source and what is manipulating them.

The Internet was built in the 1970's
History of the Internet
Computer science was an emerging discipline in the late 1950s that began to consider
time-sharing between computer users, and later, the possibility of achieving this over
wide area networks. Independently,
Paul Baran proposed a distributed network based on data in message blocks in the early 1960s and
Donald Davies conceived of
packet switching in 1965 at the
National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and proposed building a national commercial data network in the UK.
[5][6] 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,
[7] underpinned by mathematical work in the early 1970s by
Leonard Kleinrock at
UCLA. The network was built by
Bolt, Beranek, and Newman.
[8]
Early packet switching networks such as the
NPL network, ARPANET,
Merit Network, and
CYCLADES researched and provided
data networking in the early 1970s. ARPA projects and
international working groups led to the development of
protocols for
internetworking, in which multiple separate networks could be joined into a network of networks, which produced various standards.
Bob Kahn, at ARPA, and
Vint Cerf, at
Stanford University, published research in 1974 that evolved into the
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and
Internet Protocol (IP), the two protocols of the
Internet protocol suite. The design included concepts from the French CYCLADES project directed by
Louis Pouzin.

In the early 1980s, the
National Science Foundation (NSF) funded national
supercomputing centers at several universities in the United States, and provided interconnectivity in 1986 with the
NSFNET project. Thus creating network access to these supercomputer sites for research and academic organizations in the United States. International connections to NSFNET, the emergence of architecture such as the
Domain Name System, and the
adoption of TCP/IP internationally on existing networks marked the beginnings of the
Internet.
[10][11][12] Commercial
Internet service providers (ISPs) emerged in 1989 in the United States and Australia.
[13] The ARPANET was decommissioned in 1990.
[14] Limited private connections to parts of the Internet by officially commercial entities emerged in several American cities by late 1989 and 1990.
[15] The NSFNET was decommissioned in 1995, removing the last restrictions on the use of the Internet to carry commercial traffic.
