I certainly wouldn't argue that providing internet to anyone is a bad thing, and I'd love to see as much of the world as possible have access.

However, I do think it's a little comical that in doing so he is enabling the spread of the "woke mind virus" to new regions and people. So, it's conceivable that he will eventually think it was a bad thing.

No reason to believe the influence won't be in reverse though.

Let's say I build airplanes.

Let's also say I think communism is a mind-virus (I do).

I can still build airplanes knowing that communist leaders use them to spread their mind-virus.

That's because in my view, the benefit of connecting non-ideological people far outweighs the negatives of what the communist leaders spout off.

(ie, you're not only spreading that mind virus, but all thoughts, including the ones that CHALLENGE the mind virus. The biggest threat to an ideology is DISSENT)
