Very curious but hard-to-answer asking. I want to see more reply.
My opinion:
The question why the internet is "good" in the sense that it advances human flourishing is very interesting.
But, if it were specific to "internet", I don't think it is anything more or less than to empower individuals, by amplifying knowledge and collaboration.
In the near future where AI and biotechnology evolve, humanity will have to answer the question, "What is life?".
In the near future where developed countries fall down and geopolitics reaches a critical point, there might be a world war.
It would be literally "telelogical" and "ontological".
In there, we need a free, censorship-resistant, transactional internet where non-tampered information, free speech and people's money are circulating in order to express and collaborate on the free will of individuls.
