No. The internet was designed to link military command and control
computers and survive a nuclear attack.

Then it was designed to link universities and research institutes to
facilitate academic research. Enter the world wide web

After that it was designed to disseminate porn and other consumer
products, as well as being a business communication technology.

Finally once discovered by the Great Stupid it is being transformed into
another controlled channel  of mainstream propaganda.

As you have noted.

Mmm. Nor do you, in Raspberry Pi.

He who pays the piper determines the propaganda.

Paraphrasing the joke about the the British House of Commons*, 95% of
all material in the net is almost complete propaganda.

The remaining 5% *is* complete propaganda.

*"I have, over my time in the House, come to realise that 95% of what we
do here is almost completely pointless".
"But that leaves 5% anyway!"
"Yes, the 5% is absolutely definitely and completely _totally_ pointless..."

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will
eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such
time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic
and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally
important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for
the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the
truth is the greatest enemy of the State.
