>if that was the case, bringing internet to billions more people across the planet is still a fair trade off.

No, it's not. The internet stopped being a force for good and a reliable place to learn things more than ten years ago. I don't feel a pressing urge to spread open a pipeline of shitty advertisements and conspiracy theories to Uganda. They have enough problems.

Consider how easily you just disregarded the hardships peoples overcome via the internet; Isolation, lack of opportunity, and lack of resources. All can be mitigated to some degree via the Internet. I personally know individuals that have done so in a way conventional society would never have allowed, to wave this away so easily requires extraordinary tunnel vision on the recent ills.
