There's an identifiable cluster of toxic opinions around "The Internet is Evil": authoritarian moralism, an urge to control rather than offer leadership and support, fear of sexuality - homosexuality most of all! - a liking for censorship, and a tendency to use falsehoods to promote the agenda.
A common example of these falsehoods is a tendency to conflate everything the author doesn't like with child abuse. Needless to say, authoritarian moralism and censorship enforce a silence in which all manner of abuse can flourish.
