It depends on your point of view.
Good and evil don't exist in reality, at least not outside of the mind that believes in them. They are only judgments passed by the individual from their own unique perspective. What one person sees as bad or evil may seem to be the only logical thing to do from some other perspective. The ideas of both good and evil are point of view specific. This is why people like bush and bin laden are either loved or hated. Bush is seen as good by people who share his fear based thought system. Those who have a compassionate concern for all of mankind often see him as evil.
Bin laden is much the same. He is a villain in much of the western world, but he is somewhat of a celebrated pop star on the Middle East. There are T-shirt shops that sell items with his picture as though he was Jesus. It all depends on your point of view or perspective.
To sum it all up good is the name we give to people who do things that we think we like.
Evil is the name we give to people who do the things that we don’t like.
This is of course based solely on our particular point of view.
Love and blessings

The Internet is not evil but people use it for evil. There are things on there that I don't care to see or know about. Once in awhile something pops up on my screen that I wonder "where did that come from?". No matter what's out there in life; somebody can make something evil out of it. That's the way some minds work.

The internet is a yin yang meaning; YES and NO to whether it's good or evil. Not all GOOD people use the internet and not all EVIL people use the internet. It is both types of humans using this technology. It is hard to say evil is dominant over the good.

Is a tree rock or car evil? The internet is not a thinking reasoning being, and can't be evil. A person may be evil. It is harder to say that a dog bird etc is evil as they are so different from us, some animals may sometimes seem malicious but that is viewed from our human standpoint.

The Internet is not evil. Evil, a negative, destructive energy has the power to infiltrate the Masses preying on the unsuspecting and innocent. The Internet is no exception.

No object in itself is evil - it is the purpose for which it is used. The Internet has been used fro so Meany good things and some bad. It is just a super communications tool. If it was evil then communications itself must be evil.

The internet is not evil any more than the shoe on your foot is evil. It's people who are evil or not.

No, the Internet is a communication instrument, but some people using it are definitely evil.
