She was getting hundreds of notifications per day from Youtube of AI generated videos of Pope Leo doing bad stuff or something…
I know another gentleman who is “stubborn” and just said he doesn’t use the internet. No smart devices, just a flip phone with SMS and calls to keep in touch with family. He told me about how he had some guy around trying to sell him the internet and about how “he couldn’t understand that I refuse to use the internet”.
To some people that gentleman may seem like a hermit. But I told him he is absolutely right- he doesn’t need the internet. And public services should stop trying to require people to use the internet. He seems like a very happy man, a clean and tidy house that he’s proud of, and well rounded. Just listens to the radio and watches TV.
He is absolutely right. He doesn’t need the internet.

Unfortunately I can’t remember what it was exactly. It was something like “Pope Leo breaks into Protestant Church”
