A sticker with the phrase "My mobile phone is my gun" was designed by the Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR) to give to their "cyber warriors" in Havana.
The Provincial Directorate of the CDRs in the capital of the country posted on Facebook that one of these stickers was presented by the first Secretary of the PCC, Liván Izquierdo, to the Provincial Coordinator of the CDR in Havana, Eliades Rodríguez.
It highlights that this is an "example of a young fighter in the real and virtual world."
Eliades Rodríguez Martínez acknowledged "the gesture," and said that "You cannot be a revolutionary halfway!"; therefore, he called on the "true fighters of the Cuban Revolution" to demonstrate it "in the real world and in the virtual world."
Several Cubans have reacted to the publication criticizing the so-called cybermilitants of the regime, who hide behind fake profiles on social media to discredit activists, opponents, independent press, and to threaten those who criticize the situation on the island.
"They are not satisfied with indoctrination and ideological censorship on the radio and television. Now they want to take over the internet as well. I'm sorry, but on the internet, their lies are over," commented a woman.
In 2022, the social network Facebook closed several accounts managed by the State Security of Cuba that were dedicated to spreading calumnies against activists, opposition members, independent journalists, artists, and citizens who are inconvenient to the regime in Havana.
The profile of "Razones de Cuba," a controversial government program dedicated to compiling "files" against government critics, was shut down, as well as the accounts of Guerrero Cubano (with a similar purpose), La mala palabra, Cuba is not Miami, and Karlito Marx Jeune, among others.
