Online Social Distancing
I blew off Facebook three years ago when they demanded positive identification. After doing research, I discovered that Facebook will "automagically" update your profile without your input if you provide such information. I was communicating with Maykel Gonzalez Vivero https://translatingcuba.com/author/maykel/ and apparently the Cuban authorities complained about a "fake Facebook account". I obviously didn't provide the information, but it shows how completely Facebook complies with the Castro regime. I talk to and get information from all walks of life in Cuba ranging from active dissidents to loyal members of the Communist party. It's what you do if you want an unbiased idea of how things are. Now that wokesters are retaliating against beliefs they don't like, I just stay away from Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, etc. Even if all that didn't exist, why spend much time interacting with contentious people? Think of all the energy required to keep track of the growing list of "offensive terms". People communicating online have no more freedom of speech than Cubans in Cuba do. The internet has become largely Chinafied.
