I'm having an argument with a colleague about this. He believes the Cuban regime actively "suppresses free speech and cuts off internet when protestors dissent against it"

What is the actual story here?

    The US goverment actually suppresses free speech and cuts off the internet via their abuse of their control of ICANN. Even recently, as someone here pointed out, the English and other foreign-language websites of Cuba's official newspaper, Granma, had their sites de-listed and no longer accessible from the URL (one would need to know the actual IP address to connect).

      Right and I obviously know of all the nasty shit the US does. But my question was "Does the Cuban government actually restrict internet use?"

        If you're starting there, you've already lost this argument with your coworker.
