I could see this working only in very narrow cases. Closing doors to kids seems higher risk to their future than risks posed by some parts of the internet. If it's not the internet addiction machine it's gambling. If it's not gambling it's drugs. If it isn't drugs it's any of a wide variety of self destructive behavior. Towns where these things don't exist are fantasy. Imagine coming of age in such a place and trying to find meaningful work without any net skills. I'd imagine it's a huge disadvantage. For example, consistent net access from an early age (and respectful parents that mostly recognized my autonomy) gave me such a huge boost in my self confidence and career. It made me more self reliant, too.
