The bill would still need to make its way through the House.

The US’s latest attempt to chill speech online, KOSA-a bill to effectively force everyone to identify themselves to online platforms-is picking up steam and looking like it will pass the Senate.

    I don’t think a Cuban VPN exists. If it does, it’s definitely government-run. They don’t let the internet in (except on designated monitored computers priced so the local’s can’t access them much) and instead have their own intranet.

      Story time: something like 30 years ago, someone sent me an email asking a technical question about a thing I posted online. We exchanged a couple educated emails, and they thanked me for the explanation. Then it hit me: …who TF has email on Cuba …whom was I talking to?

      Nowadays they have Internet access for tourists, but 30 years ago… yeah, that.

          It was something technical, web hosting related I think. I’d have to dig up some old backups, if it’s even still there… maybe someday. I remember thinking it must’ve been someone working for the government.
