I think one step at a time.

There are still many countries where digital literacy is very low.

So first step is to ensure everyone has internet/mobile phone/laptop and knows how to use them.

I take one look at our smartphone/social media addicted society and the damage that does and think of the parallels of forcing opium on a population in the 19th century

Not that the rural third world don’t already have phones. Whether they are engineering to be as addictive as crack like in the west I’m not sure.
