The most obvious challenge that I can think of is the topic of censoring the internet. If the internet is truly for everyone then it has to be inclusive to all beliefs, ideas and cultures. Unfortunately for this to happen, some use the internet for destructive purposes.

According to Vint Cerf, "Internet is for everyone - but it won't be if it isn't affordable by all that wish to partake of its services, so we must dedicate ourselves to making the Internet as affordable as other infrastructures so critical to our well-being." This is one of the most obvious challenges of internet consumption. The problem with, let's say oligopolies (wherein only few companies provide the internet such as in some countries in Southeast Asia), internet service can be priced unreasonably or may not be of optimal quality. This is because there is not much competition, which is what makes the few companies confident to manipulate their services for self gain.
