Stories from the Internet

A 40 year old thin skinned incel whose whole life has been geared towards his brief moment in the sun, where he held 5 online relationships at once, a world which came crashing down in August 2022. Passionate about Law of Attraction, Synchronicity, Manifestation, Edging and Semen Retention. Eager user of gaslighting, doxxing, threatening legal action, targeting women whose mental health impacts their ability to defend themselves, and general dickheadery.

A broader field extending social science methods to the entire internet ecosystem—infrastructure, governance, political economy, and culture. It examines how internet architecture (protocols, data centers, fiber optics) embodies political values, how governance regimes (ICANN, national regulations) shape freedom, and how economic models (surveillance capitalism, gig platforms) reorganize labor and value. It treats the internet not as a neutral network but as a contested social space where power, resistance, and inequality are enacted.
Example: “His work on social sciences applied to the internet traced how the shift from net neutrality to privatized data flows concentrated economic power in a handful of platform companies, reshaping global digital rights.”
