Okay, so lets be certain that kids do not have a direct connection with every intelligence agency, mafia and terrorist organization in the world right in their pocket, just as they did not for thousands of years. Now, to be clear I really don't like the approach they've chosen here (I think we need to go much deeper into the fundamental design of the Internet), but I would hope it's not a controversial statement to assert that our society has taken a very sharp turn for the worse ever since the Internet became ubiquitous in children's development, and I think that really ought to prompt discussion about how it's being used.
In other words parents need to be parents and take care of their kids, glad you agree with the OP.
Not sure why you're taking a tone which suggests you think I don't agree with you.
Controversially, I think the Internet has made society better. We're still in the growing years of the age of information, so plenty of challenges to overcome for sure, but it largely has made for a more informed society and really empowered the average person despite the resurgence of authoritarianism.
