The problem with the social contract justification is that it's not really a contract because its not something that you enter willingly, it is something that is enforced. There's no possibility to opt out. Everyone on this site has internet and probably thinks it's a good thing but if an ISP came to your house, said we're giving you internet and this what you have to pay and if you don't you will be punished, we would consider that a bit problematic, even if you were planning to get internet anyway.
"If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind."
~John Stuart Mill~
