There's a substitution, here.

The GP's statement is still roughly correct: approximately anyone can use the internet to communicate.

Everyone using other people's infrastructure to communicate on the internet is to some degree subject to content restrictions.

"The internet" has "other people's infrastructure" built in to its very fabric. You cannot have the internet without other people's infrastructure, whether in 1995 or 2022.

Fiddling with semantics in order to ignore the point:

Approximately everyone can use it to communicate--they just can't use it to communicate every thing.
