>Internet access is in fact necessary for a lot of people.

We're talking about children. Internet is a fact of modern life and yes, at some point in their development, children will be exposed to it ... nobody is denying that. I fundamentally disagree however that internet access (limited or otherwise) is fundamentally necessary for child development, or academic success or education in general. That's bullcrap.

>And since now in many countries children socialize online, not just in real life, it's a necessary aspect of their life.

Yeah. I know. We're in the midst of a mental health crisis especially amongst girls brought on by social media use. That's not a good thing by the way.
