POSITIVES ; Vast stream of readily accessible information - if it's for merely that purpose, it can be seen as educational, not dangerous.
NEGATIVES ; It facilitates cyber bullying (social mechanisms) and renders one vulnerable to media pressure (celebrities etc) and on top of that, you can get hacked!

I would say no. The danger is the people who use it. The internet just facilitates such behaviour.

Ergo the internet becomes potentially dangerous by providing a link to these people.

Stupid people are a danger to themselves, and the internet is merely another way for stupidity to be taken advantage of.
