Well, sort of.  I think there's a huge problem that has a small 
technological aspect to it (we can make it easier for people to know the 
difference between a good choice and a bad choice) but a much larger 
educational aspect to it (if people knew what bad choices were presented 
to them and why they were a bad choice, more people would avoid making bad 
choices.  Not everyone is stupid, some people are just not in posession of 
the right information).

I would never suggest that only well trained people should be on the 
internet.  The risk is simply miniscule compared to the net benefit.
