Why stop at internet, stop using keyboards as they're used to cause so much harm. And pen and paper, so much harm has been done by letters, books, messages. Slippery slope.
Internet is a tool. You can whitelist content to suit your needs rather than allow the floodgates of ad tech play with your mind. I remember the days before the internet. Bureaucracy galore, queuing for basic services, relying on the whims of some individual to get simple actions performed. It wasn't fun. With today's low attention span and low tolerance for boredom most people would have a mental breakdown.
