I mean at this point for countries that retain any level of sovereignty the imperative to control their own internet seems like a no-brainer. You could argue something about freedom of information in the pre-facebook world, but nowadays you have basically people accessing the same 3-4 websites that are tightly coupled with the US intelligence agencies. So if you don't want the US government running psychological operations and seeding "color revolutions" on your youth, you'll have to apply countermeasures as soon as possible. Making the US-controlled websites more difficult to access could also promote true alternatives that are not in control of any foreign actor, with real end-to-end encryption and all those nice things.
