"In science fiction, “internet delenda est” appears as the title of a short story by Poul Anderson, published in 1955. The story is part of his Time Patrol series, exploring the concept of a temporal police force that protects the timeline from alterations. In this context, the phrase serves as a metaphor for the destruction of a timeline or a reality, rather than the literal destruction of the internet."
Don’t forget the most important one.
Internet delenda est.

Love it. I should read this.
Haha. For me it’s a riff off Cato’s “Carthage delenda est”, where he constantly called for Carthage’s destruction by Rome.
In any case, you get it. :)
