// The difference is that today, your own culture e.g. (non-native) American society till the modern day is considered fair game for analysis

These was definitely no shortage of ability to analyze and criticize western civilization in a college 20 years ago.

// An unnecessary dichotomy. The Internet is not blocked at a college

You are replying to a comment about what is accessible. College goes not preclude internet. College however is an extremely large resource and time commitment. Therefore ability to learn outside of that is a great addition.

// Guess what, things change, and usually in a way that society is better off.

Agreed. Hence the article we are all talking about - people wisely chosing to forego college as a default.
