To understand how monstrous the US blockade on Cuba is, think about the endgame. What are they trying to achieve?

“Do we want a technology that normalizes and amplifies deception? That transforms privacy into a commodity? A society where a techno-oligarch can interfere, as one of them did yesterday, in the…phones of millions of citizens to tell them lies? The answer must be a clear no, and we will not give in.”
