Okay, Lets say theres a fantasy medieval world with magic and bullshit, Scholars of this world manage to create something similar to modern internet and for some reason even poor peasants can afford it (this is a fictional world) , But instead computers you have magic "books" where you are able to chat with other medieval folks, You can record/take pictures with a magical crystal watch "videos" , "download" information and even play text based games, Then is only a matter of time before something akin to social media is created, Is basically the same as our modern internet but with less games and and websites, So if medieval internet existed in a fantasy world do you think it would fuck things over like what happened to us? Would it create hypergamy and unrealistic mating standards? What do you think would happen if internet existed in a medieval fantasy world? Would medieval internet increase the population of medievalcels and promote slut culture/degeneracy? Is there any chance it would be different? If not,How would you prevent it if you were the king?
Note : This magic technology is developed in a slighly utopian kingdom and most peasants know how to write and use this artifacts, This kingdom is surrounded by smaller/poorer realms who are no match for it, Similar to USA and third world countries.
Note 2 : Im not a bookworm worldbuilder so i have no extensive knowledge about medieval times, Just the basics.
Note 3 : This "internet" is cheap and easy to produce, It works with special crystals that are abundant on the land and just need to be carved with runes and sigils in order work.
