  1. We literally created the internet. The internet was created as project started by the U.S. Pentagon and other departments during the Clinton administration. And have you ever heard of Silicon Valley?

  2. I feel like in a world where the the Warsaw pact and the Soviet Union have collapsed; where all Latin American countries that were once ruled by right wing military dictatorships are now relatively thriving democracies (except for some of the central American ones) showing that you can have capitalism, prosperity, and democracy like in Panama; and where the only clear dictatorships left in the region are the socialist governments, examplified by the humanitarian disaster in Venezuela, access to an uncensored internet in Cuba would lead to the Cuban population revolting against the communist regime. Cuba goes through power outages every day, and would be much worse if not for the oil subsidies Venezuela sends to Cuba. Castro is dead, the Cold War is over, and Cuba has already given up on their strict socialist policies with the free market reforms they hasld to make after they stopped getting subsidies from the the USSR. The Cuban government has nothing left to legitimize themselves and their total control over everything except to say that: 1) the U.S. is out to get them, 2) to claim that they have popular support (which they create the appearance of by having faux opposition parties and by cracking down on any dissent), 3) and by saying that the Cuban population population will be poorer oppressed without a strong socialist government Yet with access to the internet, people could see that the U.S. no longer really cares about Cuba, has made up with other communist countries like China and Vietnam, and has other problems to attend to. They could also communicate and address their real concerns without as facing the same threat they would face in a public square, allowing for dissent and the real gripes the people have with the government to be exposed and shared. And it would let them see the success of other Latin American countries. I think this is why the Cuban regime doesn't want the majority of the population to have access to uncensored internet, because they know they would be doomed like the communist governments in Eastern Europe.
