I think the reliability of the internet depends on the situation. For example, if I'm searching for information, I usually go to Google or Wikipedia because they offer a wide range of information on any topic. But for leisure, I prefer platforms like Netflix or YouTube to relax and watch funny videos after a long day. I have a few social media accounts, but I try to limit my time on them. There are definitely things I don't want to see online, like hateful content or misinformation. It's important to be aware of the potential downsides of the internet and to use it responsibly.
