Cuba introduced tighter controls on the use of social media this week, including a ban on publications that might damage 'the country's prestige,' angering many citizens and international rights activists.
People carry a poster with photographs of Cuba's late President Fidel Castro, Cuba's President and First Secretary of the Communist Party Miguel Diaz-Canel and Cuba's former President and First Secretary of the Communist Party Raul Castro during a rally in Havana, Cuba, July 17, 2021.
Those who have attempted to "subvert the constitutional order" will be considered cyberterrorists. It does not say what the penalties will be for violations. Since the introduction of mobile internet just over two years ago, platforms like Facebook and WhatsApp have enabled Cubans to share their gripes and even mobilize in a country where public spaces are tightly controlled.
Some Cuban Americans have used social media to encourage Cubans on the island to rise up against the government, with a few even urging then to commit acts of sabotage. But it was a more severe and explicitly political measure to regulate online expression than a previous, 2019 decree that bans the "spreading of information contrary to the common good, morals, decency, and integrity," he said.
