    No, that’s not what he said. He got a lot of flak for supposedly saying he invented the Internet.

    In reality he never claimed that, he said that when he was a congressman he took initiative in creating the Internet, meaning sponsoring bills that would fund it etc. not actually inventing it.

    Robert Kahn and Vint Cerf actually acknowledged that Gore was first politician that saw Internet’s potential and helped it becoming a reality.

            Lack of a sarcasm indicator on the internet will have people assume you’re not being sarcastic. Use /s if you’re truly being sarcastic otherwise people are just going to assume you’re backtracking because you didn’t like the downvotes.

                Some people are on the spectrum and don’t necessarily notice context clues. Better to just add a sarcasm tag and not cause confusion. You do you but I’ll continue to mark my sarcasm.
