the internet family's least famous kin

People talk about the "Father of the Internet" or the "Grandfather of the Internet", but no-one mentions the strange uncle of the Internet, or the fairy godmother of the Internet. Nor do they speak (except perhaps on the dark web) of the evil twin of the Internet, or the secret love child of the Internet.

Where are the kissing cousins of the Internet, or the mother-in-law of the Internet? What happened to the wastrel son of the Internet? Indeed, the whole bastard offspring of the Internet have been totally erased from public discourse.

The maiden aunts of the Internet should be given credit, as well as the confirmed bachelor great uncle.

And of course, the Giddy Aunt of the Internet.
