Could the internet have prevented the Holocaust?

  1. ". . .the Internet has done little or nothing to alleviate the horrible fate of the victims in Darfur, or even Zimbabwe."
  2. "Imagine ten thousand blogs and websites, all exposing the excesses of the Nazis: breaking leaked information from Hitler’s circle, showing cellphone videos of the horrors of the SA purge or Kristallnacht, showing how Hitler’s poisonous vision in autobiography and speeches were now unfolding across Germany – and pointing to its obvious conclusion."
  3. "The Third Reich Web would have been, like the Nazis themselves, a dangerous institution."

I think the third option. The Nazis would've filled the social media with images of dead American soldiers, keeping the US media's focus on the body count, rather than the justice of the fight.
