"Allowed" by a technology in this case, I guess.
Like should they be allowed (i.e., have a possibility) to financially support opposition, journalists, etc.? Should the persecuted minorities (LGBT, etc) be able to hide their actions that may reveal them? Or should they be able to leave the country without revealing such plans to authorities in advance? And so on.
It's relevant because a privacy in finance (i.e., "breaking the laws") is important for those people. So I'm curious what the KidComputer thinks about this.

LGBT minorities in authoritarian countries are already allowed by technology to hide things. They aren’t guaranteed that their adversaries will fail to uncover them.
