Then how about privilege?

If someone is living in a less-privileged situation (oppressive regime, 
state controlled ISP, extreme poverty, whatever) there's also a good 
chance that such people may not able to acquire newer/updated technology 
easily, perhaps not even legally at great risk. I will disagree with 
anyone's assertion that people in such conditions deserve to be 
disenfranchised.
