Cuba: “Free Isn't Easy”

Categories: Latin America, Cuba, Freedom of Speech, Technology

Blogger and Global Voices author Ellery Biddle reflects on freedom of speech [1] in thinking about the recent struggle against the United States proposed anti-piracy bill Stop Online Piracy (SOPA) and Cuba: “As I juxtapose SOPA and Cuba’s limitations on free speech, it may sound like I’m comparing apples and mangoes—on several levels, this is true. But my point is that high-level political rights don’t come easy, and that even when you have these rights, you have to work hard to uphold them.”
