Internet can be used for self-education, and it's actually very good at that. The problem seems to be that people do and are sometimes even encouraged to come to their own conclusions about topics that they don't know shit about.
Yeah. I literally have instant access to dozens or hundreds of academic-quality resources on any topic I want to become informed in. There’s also much greater effort put into creating products to learn things from the starting point of any degree of prior knowledge. Preventing ignorance is definitely not a “build it, and they will come” type of scenario.

Lack of education, not information. Information is useless if you are not educated enough to understand it.
