  I was online when I was 11 also, back in 94. No google. No yahoo. No youtube. Just non-stop unregulated pornography as far as thee eye could see. Then yahoo showed up and had yahoo chat WITH NO BOTS. They even had a Webcam feature on dialup. I was 14 by then and I remember going into a Webcam room with a woman in Australia in her 40s and she made me watch her use a huge black dildo. The original rickroll was goatse, or this website that infinitely loaded popup windows until it crashed your pc.

  Truly a golden age.

      At the time I had no pc in my house, I could only use it at my grandparents house. They got AOL, and like a week after getting it he checked his email and it was a porn spam with a big image of 2 lesbians using a double sided dildo and he called that day and canceled AOL and he switched to a smaller local isp(back when those existed). I still cackle at that, with how ubiquitous emails like that are.

        Hahaha that’s excellent. When I hit like 13, I was fed up with AOL’s walled garden (funny, because now I love my iPhone, but at least I get the whole internet) so I installed something like freeinternet.com or whatever and the Opera browser came out, so I used that. My mind was blown when suddenly I didn’t have parental restrictions. The free internet was a crunchy place back then!

        Then, as a later teen, I discovered suuuper early TOR. THAT was a wild place. I stumbled upon things I did NOT want to see.
