Internet and Democracy

"Thanks to the Internet, it has become easier than ever to see what you want when you want, and filter out all the rest."

I think the internet has effected the way democracy is by having so much information being accessible to everyone so easily. Not only that but the internet gives out information that isn't even necessarily correct. So many people alter the information to have it mean what they mean and not what the actual information is saying.
I think this effects history and our democracy by when people need to find information on something and they go to look it up, they can possibly get the wrong information which can soon lead to other people thinking the same thing.
