‘They Are Starving Us to Death’: Cubans Protest Food Shortages
Cubans from the eastern city of Holguín defied state security forces to protest the widespread food shortages still plaguing the communist-controlled island in a video published Wednesday. The video showed street vendors defying police who tried to confiscate their food, mainly by throwing their products on the ground so that locals could pick it up and eat it. Their protest was consequently backed up by a number of passers-by, who went out to help street vendors and demanded authorities not confiscate what they had for sale.
“Do not take anything, they’re killing us with hunger, this is the government of Díaz-Canel,” one could be heard saying, referring to the island’s president, Miguel Díaz-Canel. Díaz-Canel answers to the head of the Communist Party, Raúl Castro.
As part of the regime’s communist vision, police are required to regularly inspect the actions of private retailers, mainly by arbitrarily imposing significant fines, confiscating products and withdrawing their licenses.
YouTube Blacklists Tommy Robinson from Earning Ad Revenue
Google-owned video hosting website YouTube has reportedly blacklisted British activist Tommy Robinson from earning advertising revenue with his videos. BuzzFeed News reports that YouTube has blacklisted British activist Tommy Robinson from receiving advertising revenue on its platform. BuzzFeed News claims that YouTube informed them this week that it suspended ads on Robinson’s YouTube channel for violating the company’s advertising guidelines. A YouTube spokesperson told BuzzFeed in a statement: “We have suspended ads on Tommy Robinson’s YouTube channel as it breaches our advertising policies.”
Robinson tweeted a photo earlier this week of an email he received from YouTube relating to a particular video he posted, telling him that the company had “placed restrictions on how the video will be shown.” The message from Team YouTube to Robinson reads: “We believe in the principles of free speech, even when the speech is unpopular or potentially offensive to some viewer. However, YouTube doesn’t allow hate speech or content that promotes or incites violence.”
