Remember the "model democracy" of Cuba that those nice young people from
Resistance told you about outside the Nike store one Friday afternoon,
and how much more free and happy Cubans are than the oppressed serfs of McWorld?
Well, for one thing, the free, happy Cubans are not allowed access to the Internet,
lest they become infected with counterrevolutionary ideas. Internet access
exists, but is only available to foreigners and trusted members of the
Communist Party hierarchy. Not that that stops determined dissidents, who
buy access cards from foreigners and use them surreptitiously, or even use
accounts and passwords from resourceful hackers who steal them and sell them
at a hefty price.
