When I left my country the internet access was strictly limited to certain workers in the state own Enterprises or governmental agencies. Even those workers where forbidden to access certain websites and blogs where Cuban independent journalist posted their articles. The heads of the Departments in charge of controlling and supervising the computer network we're usually retired members of the Armed Forces or the ministry of the interior who are all of them members of the communist.Party. Eventually, the Cuban regime decided to open access to Internet to grassroot Cubans but that access is restricted for two main reasons: First, those websites that post analysis, or information that the Cuban regime dislike are off limits for the Cubans in the island and, second, the exorbitant prices the Cuban has to pay to be connected to the internet prevent many of them to do so. However, if one checks the Social networks will find material, mostly videos, the Cho accrued reality of the everyday life for the Cubans and and that the dissemination of anti-regime facts has prompted it the government to enact legislation to stop that trend. The Cuban people is far from having the same internet access the rest of the people in the region have and trying to mask. that reality is playing in favor of the longest-living dictatorship of the western HemisphereAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11137984257006419580noreply@blogger.com
