Abandoning is not the answer.

I see the effect with my father, he never got much into it in the first place and now he is completely lost when he need to order stuff. So many scammy website featuring first in Google result thanks to seo optimisation or just advertisement.

Then he is completely oblivious to the fact that people can make deepfake video and believed one to be true when it was shown to him on someone else phone.

As much garbage there can be on the internet, you have to force yourself to keep up with it and overall technology otherwise you're just left behind at the mercy of those who adapted.
