Never.
I only have this because of the Internet. The US, not the Cubans, are keeping advanced internet tech away from Cuba.
True, I don't support any blockade or embargoes at all. That doesn't mean the Cuban government has not repressed information within its borders, particularly anti-government information.
Desperate Housewives is awful tv. They should be punished for wasting energy alone.
You're either dodging or missing the point: what exactly is 'anti-imperial' information? Repressing information based on this criteria, devised using arbitrary, abstract principles is the exact argument used by the censors and elite. There should be no repression in this sphere whatsoever, the only appeal to censorship is essentially a worshiping of the elite. If you're afraid that the free-flowing of ideas in Cuba would topple the government, then that's just another argument
for the removal of censorship -- if people, being allowed to explore the depths of the world's information, would choose a different government, then all the more power to them.
