Would it be better for subjects of dictatorial goverments to have no access to the internet at all, rather than having a somewhat constrained window to the global community?
Is'nt freedom an organic idea which grow from having a small foothold in any form of free communication (e.g. the church in the DDR). Eventually it later blooms in a fullblown Democracy, but first when the society has matured to a level where the powers that be won't abuse the freedom given to the people (e.g. Russia and also the USA where Corporations have been given the rights of human beings, but not the duties that follow).
