Cuban Content Creator Responds to Criticisms on Social Media Regarding Cuba's Political Climate

A Cuban content creator, known as 'el.profesor.cubano,' recently posted a video addressing a critical comment about his discussions on Cuba while living abroad. The commenter, identified as 'Jose Maillo,' questioned the creator's right to speak on Cuban affairs, implying he should 'leave Cubans alone' if he is not on the island and highlighting the suffering of families of those involved in the July 11 events. In his response, the content creator challenged the critic's location, suggesting that access to platforms like TikTok in Cuba is severely restricted, implying the commenter also lives outside the country. He further criticized the commenter for defending the Cuban government and its 'propaganda,' stating, 'This type defends the dictatorship in Cuba.' The creator emphasized his awareness of the risks involved in speaking out, noting that his mother still resides in Cuba, but asserted that she would not face repercussions. The video underscores ongoing debates among Cubans both on and off the island regarding political discourse and the challenges of free expression.
