The author fails to mention that the reason the internet is not available to most people in Cuba is because private internet access is illegal in Cuba. The public internet (internet cafes, etc.), including social media, is monitored by the Cuban secret police. Political dissenters, or anyone criticizing the Castros or their cronies, are harshly punished, usually without a trial. Censorship is strict. So, good luck with it, Netflix.
