With the arrival of this technology and the internet itself, restrictions have been abandoned in a | | Taako Taaco @UltSithLord - 5m world where ‘sharing’ or ‘retweeting’ has become the new norm. Because of social media, nothing ever truly belongs to a singular individual | | Taako Taaco @UltSithLord - 3m any longer but rather to the internet en masse.
