Everything can be viewed either as a test or a gift. Someone asked a well-known rav (and I was present) about whether one is permitted to eat kosher food that is made to resembler non-kosher. The rav responded that if Hashem gave the chochmah to create, who are we to deny using it. Each person has to known for himself what is a test, but I don’t know how one can generalize with the Internet. There are people who just cannot control themselves when it comes to the Internet, or alcohol, or gambling. For those of us who do not have the taiveh, are these tests? Same with Internet with kids. You raise them and guide them how to responsible, maybe they can use it without the dangers.
