[Grammar] I want to connect with people who have/share the same interests and ideas as I do.

Hi,

Are the following acceptable?

The Internet has greatly assisted to connect with people across the world who have/share the same interests and ideas as we do.

The Internet has greatly assisted in connecting with people across the world who have/share similar interests and ideas as we do.

Thanks.

1- You need "us" after "assisted".
2- Say "who have the same interests and ideas as we do" or "who share the same interests and ideas with us."

I got it. We can only use 'the same" with "as" .
Thank you.

No. Take another look at what I wrote in post #2.

"who have the same interests and ideas as we do" or "who share the same interests and ideas with us."
Oh. Sorry. Thanks.
The same as
the same with

See above.

I find "share the same x with" unnatural.

A and B have the same x as C.
A, B and C share x.
