Of course the AP doesn’t see the irony between Cuba and what is happening here to conservatives all across social media.
Remember when President Obama wanted an Internet Kill-Switch?
And Facebook and Twitter sure know how to stifle political opposition.
None. I don't recognize America as it currently is. Censorship is rampant. One of the comforts is knowing that socialism and its ultimate goal, Communism, always fail. Always.
I wonder if the world will crap its pants when it happens to America and our internet goes totally down. We already scare the hell out of them. Imagine if we go dark what the talking heads would say.
>>There was no formal organizer of Sunday’s protests; people found out about the rallying points over social media, mostly on Twitter and Facebook, the platforms most used by Cubans.
How many of the protesters received Fakebook notices “you may have been exposed to extremist friends/content”?
Hmmm. Sounds familiar.
Coming soon to America.
What the media doesn’t tell you is that for years Cuba has been a playground for pedophiles, from Hollywood and various politicians.
They don’t want those secrets to get out.
I believe you but I don't really remember.
I do remember when Obama want to put "monitors" in the news rooms but even the NYT balked at that.
That’s the truth.
Just an organized boycott of the internet would scare the hell out of them. It worked once before. And a good one... A week.
The communists around the world are afraid. They know these revolutions are like dominos. Once one place fights for freedom, other places will start seeing revolutions.
Wouldn’t be surprised if they move up the time table for these “strike teams”, because no one but the most brain dead libtards are buying this is over covid vaccines.

Cuba going all Silicon Valley on the peasants.
I think things will go back to the old days of IRC from the 90’s. Then to HAM...if this keeps up.
GMRS is quite active in my area.

Sounds familiar.
You can always spot the tyrant by their fear of rights.
dunno, man. I’m not sure the world wouldn’t be improved if God were to magically un-invent the internet.
he could certainly improve mankind by un-inventing twitter and Facebook.
