The Cuban government acknowledges that it blocks websites that it considers to be terrorist, subversive or pornographic. Attempts to view blocked sites, such as the Cuban American National Foundation's, result in generic messages such as ``This page cannot be shown.''

Back in 2000 or so, the NYC Visitors' Center in Times Square had free Internet terminals set up (courtesy of Yahoo) for people to check their e-mail while travelling there.

I'll never for get the experience of trying to visit FR from there and getting the message, "Access to pornographic/hate sites is denied."

Access to DU? No problem.

My cousins in Cuba only can access the internet because they "know someone". Most of the people there are sending emails using yahoo accounts out of spain.
