The 58-year-old former Playboy cover star said her faith had been renewed in the Internet, reported W magazine.
"So I threw it all away. But then I started to realise, you can use it for good and I started to kind of slowly get back into it. It's not for personal reasons, but all the things I believe in," said Anderson.
The "Baywatch" star added she initially thought nothing good could come out of using the Internet.
"I shut down my computer and cellphone for six months one time. I thought the social media thing was bad, because one time I was offered a movie, but in the contract they said, 'You have so many followers', this and that, and I said, 'I'm not getting involved with this. This is really bad, and I don't want anything to do with it'," she said.
