The term is quite over used in my opinion, it is very often used in hyperbole. Whether it is in terms of popularity and driving traffic to a website or a threat said to break the Internet, it doesn’t seem to live up to the meaning of the term.

    In my defence, internet was setup to share information, openly. That’s broken now.

    It’s ruined as well, but you’re right, semantics is important.
