Political culture of cyberspace: discussion for ICP351

Political culture of cyberspace can be very democratic if two barriers are not existent. Firslty, the governments should not ban, control and put restrictions on internet access. Secondly, if the cost of internet access is affordable by the people it can play a positive role and can be democratic.
I think Beir is correct because there some countries and poeples who cannot afford using the internet. For example, in Afghanistan in Kabul only a small number of people have access to internet. Thus, in this regard, political culture of cyberspace in Afghanistan can play a minimum role.
