"I'm not sure if it makes sense to "stamp out dictatorship" when so many people legitimately want to live under one" The people who want to live under a dictator do it either because they're greatly benefiting from the status quo (these tend to be an elite minority) or those who have been brainwashed by a state-controlled media and education system to not realize how oppressed they are. Free access to the internet lets people see outside their tightly controlled propaganda bubble, which is why totalitarian regimes such as China try to censor it. They are afraid of the internet for good reason: because once people start to find out what really happened in their country (like at Tiananmen Square) they'll start to wonder if their own government is as benevolent and if the outside world is so horrible as state-controlled media and education tells them. That could contribute to the overthrow of the old regime. Free access to information is only one piece of the puzzle, but revolutions and deposing of dictators can and has happened. Unfortunately, what replaces dictators is sometimes just as bad or worse than the dictator. See the results of the Communist overthrow of the Russian Czar for one example, and the military's control of Egypt after the revolution that overthrew Mubarak for another. To be truly successful revolutions can't just replace one elite with another, but have to really empower the people.
