I don't fully agree. Children have the same needs to keep in touch with friends, etc that the rest of us do. The value is still there for children. There could even be an argument that there is even more value for children, because they stand to learn more and develop further in their interests and hobbies. Of course, there is the danger and risk of predators and all. But I think the way to deal with that is more about guidance and education than complete "parental control" in "walled gardens".
