But that also means 3.3 billion do not. The Internet not only overcomes marginalization but, in some cases, perpetuates it. Even in highly technologically advanced societies, there are people who have been left behind in terms of communication technology; those facing multiple forms of discrimination, in particular, suffer from limited access.
