The US’s latest attempt to chill speech online, KOSA-a bill to effectively force everyone to identify themselves to online platforms-is picking up steam and looking like it will pass the Senate.

    I don’t think a Cuban VPN exists. If it does, it’s definitely government-run. They don’t let the internet in (except on designated monitored computers priced so the local’s can’t access them much) and instead have their own intranet.

      Story time: something like 30 years ago, someone sent me an email asking a technical question about a thing I posted online. We exchanged a couple educated emails, and they thanked me for the explanation. Then it hit me: …who TF has email on Cuba …whom was I talking to?

      Nowadays they have Internet access for tourists, but 30 years ago… yeah, that.

        Lol, so what sort of thing was Fidel tinkering with and asking for help with?

          It was something technical, web hosting related I think. I’d have to dig up some old backups, if it’s even still there… maybe someday. I remember thinking it must’ve been someone working for the government.
