Facebook and unregulated social media. Up to now most governments in the world don't even have a clue or idea that the internet is a very powerful tool that should actually be regulated because there are very evil people who will always act in bad faith to manipulate others for power and control. The Golden era of the internet is definitely over, I think 2016 was a defined shift that will be recorded by historians.

In fairness, most internet users would have been extremely against regulating social media until quite recently

Early internet was very much regulated. I wish we could all just go back to usenet and no internet on phones.
