The referendum was certainly not democratic. And Erdogan is very undemocratic.

And you say I rely on the internet. Well, I do. And everyone around me does, too. I get my news from the internet, I do research on the internet, I have friends on the internet. And everyone around me needs the internet as much as I do. I don't just play map games, you know. Then again, you hardly know who I am and what I do, so...

If the internet didn't exist, yes. I would get news from the TV, newspapers, etc. But those things can easily be state-run. I don't want my news to be plagued by state-run propaganda. The internet is a free place, and so is the information it has. That's why dictatorships censor the internet, because the internet is a way for the opposition to reveal the truth about them.
