Welcome to the Internet 

Have a look around
Anything that brain of yours can think of can be found
We've got mountains of content
Some better, some worse
If none of it's of interest to you, you'd be the first
Welcome to the internet
Come and take a seat
Would you like to see the news or any famous women's feet?
There's no need to panic
This isn't a test, haha
Just nod or shake your head and we'll do the rest
Welcome to the internet
What would you prefer?
Would you like to fight for civil rights or tweet a racial slur?
Be happy
Be horny
Be bursting with rage
We got a million different ways to engage
Welcome to the internet
Put your cares aside
Here's a tip for straining pasta
Here's a nine-year-old who died
We got movies, and doctors, and fantasy sports
And a bunch of colored pencil drawings
Of all the different characters in Harry Potter fucking each other
Welcome to the internet
Hold on to your socks
'Cause a random guy just kindly sent you photos of his cock
They are grainy and off-putting
He just sent you more
Don't act surprised, you know you like it, you whore
See a man beheaded
Get offended, see a shrink
Show us pictures of your children
Tell us every thought you think
Start a rumor, buy a broom
Or send a death threat to a boomer
Or DM a girl and groom her
Do a Zoom or find a tumor in your
Here's a healthy breakfast option
You should kill your mom
Here's why women never fuck you
Here's how you can build a bomb
he sent you a pic of his cock, you are in the Welcome to the Internet.

Social Sciences Applied to the Internet

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.”
