No, you misunderstood. Online "for the purpose of communication" was not defended. Online "for the purpose of cultivation" is morally mandatory.
I do not see how there can be a misunderstanding: they blocked and/or are planning to block and/or trying to block access by minors to crucial resources like YouTube. Kids are mandated to read good books, and they are similarly mandated to watch good video material. Do you understand what I mean for "good video material" or would you like me to improvise a list with some examples?
If you are maturing in a place without access to libraries or without access to independent theaters (a dispersed, rural area or under a shoestring or autocratic government) then I will concede this. But if you live in a city that provides these things, then access to YT does not provide an adequate ROI (in terms of the negative consequences it introduces) over a library or regular visits to the art museum
