@QasimRashid @emmah that one especially annoys me because if you talk to a teacher or public librarian they can give you a long list of things which require a modern browser, like getting a job, medical care, registering for school, finding a place to live, etc. which they know because they have to help people get their lives unblocked on a regular basis.
@acdha @QasimRashid @emmah Government workers helping people with the bureaucratic system agree.
I know one who says free internet access - eh, with restriction to safe sites, perhaps - is a needed public service for minimum equal access to essential functions in WEIRD nations. The added disadvantage to those in poverty from the cost of home access/ lack of safe free access is appalling.
