CLEAN : In Cuba blogs defy state monopoly on the media

In Cuba, blogging is a growing form of independent journalism, challenging the government's control over the press. Bloggers like Abraham use platforms to share their experiences, differing from official narratives. Despite low internet penetration, Wi-Fi hotspots have emerged, allowing limited access to online content. However, high costs restrict most Cubans from engaging with independent sites.
