Hmm. I think they show the dark side of humanity... you and me, just 
as tales of Auchwitz and Bosnia do also. It isn't *them* who did 
this, its *us*. Humans. By pretending its *them* or *it* (the 
web/Internet) you fall into exactly the same trap that allowed Nazi 
camp guards to preside over gas chambers in the day, and at night go 
home and be loving fathers and/or gifted pianists.

Sorry. Rant over...
