The ethical question of right or wrong is independent on the existence of the global internet.

Regarding the views related to the topic: The global internet has changed the way human consume information. Previously highly specialized knowledge became available to all members of the population that could access the internet, at the burden to verify the correctness of that information by themselves. 

While the freely available online encyclopedia Wikipedia and search engines such as Google made it easier than ever for humans to cross reference facts, at the same time the rise of social networks such as Facebook and micro blogging services such as Twitter gave rise to the 'echo chamber' phenomenon, where repetitive selection of biased information lead to the reinforcement of previous held biases.  

A combination of both effects is among the factors the contributed to a polarization in many societies where some parts of the global political spectrum believe that a stronger emphasis on national interests is more important whereas other parts want to extend international cooperation.
