DeSantis says he wants to provide internet access in Cuba to get around government shutdown
Source: Miami Herald
Gov. Ron DeSantis said Tuesday he wants Florida companies to provide internet connection to residents in Cuba, as the island entered its third day of protests amid widespread internet shutdowns that have hindered the flow of information.
What does the regime do when you start to see these images? They shut down the internet. They dont want the truth to be out, they dont want people to be able to communicate, said DeSantis during a roundtable with Republican lawmakers and members of the Cuban exile community in Miami.
And so one of the things I think we should be able to do with our private companies or with the United States is to provide some of that internet via satellite. We have companies on the Space Coast that launch these things, he added.
Without providing details on how to turn on remote hot spots to give Cubans WiFi connection, DeSantis added he would make some calls to see what are the options to make it happen.

Hey Cuba. Here's some free internet. Trust me. It's as safe as that spoofed Starbucks WiFi hotspot.
What's that old saying, "Beware of MAGAts bearing gifts."
