Maybe puritans would have objected to the poor using the internet to get their rocks off in 2007. However, in 2023 - I cannot imagine anyone applying for a job without using the internet in some fashion. Could one discover job openings in a newspaper and mail their resume by post and wait for a phone call? Perhaps, but even McJobs have QR codes now.

I have no doubt that anyone in the US who doesn't have internet access is severely disadvantaged on the job market (or even accessing Khan academy). Yes, they may use most of the bandwidth for entertainment,but gatekeeping what poor people should do with their resources seems a tad paternalistic, this includes policing what should be in the shopping baskets of SNAP beneficiaries.
