Don't be so easily offended. Nobody said anything about their culture. The reason the question is being raised is because of the unignorable number of DDOS attacks being launched from their Internet space. Stop that, and you'll have less calls for cutting their connection.
It has nothing to do with culture. It has to do with committing crimes against the global infrastructure. Nobody is calling for the disconnect of Japan, Vietnam, South Korea, or even North Korea because none of those countries are taking a dump in the swimming pool we are all trying to use.
By "rest of world" do you mean the USA? Or Europe? Or basically "the west"?
When does it sound like cultural imperialism?
Are countries (and their citizens) only permitted to be connected to the internet if their culture matches that of your country/federation?
How is that not an offensive idea?
Usually, I reverse statements and if I find them offensive in reverse they are probably offensive full stop. This one is pretty offensive.
