An Amish person is free to do what he or she wishes to do. The Amish community avoids modern technology, but they do so by choice, not due to a lack of freedom. And any member of the Amish community is also free to leave it and enter the mainstream of American culture, which some choose to do.

Why do the Amish not read these questions?
Most Amish don't use technology. They see it as a distraction, and they have other religious views about it. Each Amish community has a sort of "rulebook" called an Ordnung that is different for each community- for example, one community might be allowed to have a telephone for the entire community, and for another it wouldn't be so. Also, a lot (NOT ALL) Amish people don't feel comfortable with associating themselves with non-Amish peoples and/or don't feel a need to explain themselves. Some people were Amish when they were younger, though, and have "converted" to a non-Amish lifestyle, so don't be surprised to see answers from once-Amish people.
