Cuba Cracks Down on Online Dissent

“Cuba’s communist government has introduced draconian rules on the use of social media and the internet after the largest anti-government protests in decades,” the Times of London reports.

“A decree orders internet providers to cut access to those who ‘spread fake news’ or ‘damage the image of the state’ and makes it a crime to incite acts “that alter public order”. The law was published just over a month after thousands of Cubans took to the streets in protests that were convened and spread via online forums, including Facebook.”
