Had blocking news and access to information been in the cards, as you describe, there would be another discussion. This is not it. The closest this comes is to block a linkaggregator. One that has been deemed to violate the laws in its area of business and being reluctant to take steps to rectify the situation.

This being the supreme court doing it does bring up the question of democratic decision making, which famiously has been proven by other countries recently. Although they also gave their president the power to remove themselves from office, if I've understood that particular debacle correctly.

It's a bit like Maslows hierarchy of needs. First we need food and water and plumbing. When we are secure in those needs, society can take the next step. But the basis of security must be there before advancement

Yes! The importance of craftsmen is hard to overstate😀 Along with a few others, of course!

That's not a straight line, although it is possible to follow without changing direction😊

Sure! And with internet the people we are with can be on different continents, all of us forming our bubbles of reality based on the information we are presented. Same as it ever was. The only difference is that before you shared your experience with the people you saw in the room, with internet you share it with the people you see on the screen. But since two people i the same room doesnt share the same experiences anymore, it becomes much easier to spot the differences in eachothers realities.

It's not the social media, it's human nature. It has always been this way, only social media/internet did it on an individual where it was previously more a group thing. Like TV before cable. Like radio before TV. Like newspapers before radio and like religion since its inception. As far as "creating bespoke realities" this is just the latest step on a journey started with storytelling...
