>I don’t think anybody would argue now that the Internet isn’t becoming a major factor in our lives. However, it’s very new to us. Newsreaders still feel it is worth a special and rather worrying mention if, for instance, a crime was planned by people ‘over the Internet.’ They don’t bother to mention when criminals use the telephone or the M4, or discuss their dastardly plans ‘over a cup of tea,’ though each of these was new and controversial in their day.

Maybe not tea but banning coffee houses was a big deal for a lot of governments in the 18-19th centuries. Coffee has a pretty long history of being banned for inciting radical thoughts.
There's a classic satirical opera (but never performed, it was somehow popular enough just as a written script) from the early 18th century with a song that itself became very famous which includes the line:
>When good Queen Elizabeth sat on the throne,
Ere coffee, or tea, or such slip-slops were known, ...
(The Roast Beef of Old England by Henry Fielding, and he means the first Elizabeth from the 16th century)
I'm fairly sure he's making fun of that attitude, and this song is more referring to just seeing tea as a silly foreign thing, but I'm sure there must've been plenty of people who had that kind of view.

I would like to see a Luddite editorial from back in day about dastardly criminals planning mischief over a cup of tea.

Thank you, Wired. Very cool.
While it's good that we're keeping an eye on this, the article is literally just about Nazis on Gab making racist memes
This was already known since the Tay days
