IDK if unlimited internet can fix terrible parents or an environment that is intolerant or unsupportive of who a child is.
There are instances where it has helped ... on the flip side I've seen kids sucked in by these communities that form around minor celebrity influencers. Sometimes the influencers themselves are predatory, sometimes creeps just lurk in such places looking for lonely disconnected young people.

@futurebird@sauropods.win @DavyJones@c.im @dalias@hachyderm.io honestly, it doesn’t fix it but you will hear countless examples of queer kids trapped in abusive homes only surviving because they did have unrestricted access to the internet.
i might have killed myself as a teen without it, i’ve met many who say they would have
like i said in another post, i’m more about educating kids and giving them the ability as a class to advocate for themselves and choose the risks that they want to take.
u also need to take into account that children can hack things, they will get past things like “white lists”
