With the backing and authorization of the federal government, these private sector innovators can get to work immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carr said that the U.S. must immediately \u201cexpand our efforts\u201d to help the Cuban people, even as the Biden administration has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-dhs-chief-to-cubans-hoping-to-make-sea-voyage-to-u-s-you-will-not-enter-the-united-states\">signaled<\/a> the opposite, sparking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/critics-blast-biden-over-crisis-in-cuba-theyll-only-allow-in-people-who-wont-vote-republican\">backlash<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInternet shutdowns are increasingly becoming a tool of tyranny for authoritarian regimes across the globe. America must stand against this anti-democratic tactic and move with haste to provide Internet freedom to the Cuban people,\u201d Carr added. \u201cOpposition from Havana- a regime that actively works to block Radio Television Marti\u2019s signals- is expected. We must not be deterred. We should do everything in our power to ensure that the Cuban people have the power of connectivity and the ability to share their fight for freedom with the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carr\u2019s statement comes after DeSantis <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/desantis-presses-biden-to-provide-internet-access-to-cuban-protesters-amid-communist-crackdown\">pressed<\/a> Biden earlier in the evening to step up to the plate \u201cimmediately\u201d and help the Cuban people by providing internet access so that the world can see what is going on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI write to urge you to assist in providing Internet access to the people of Cuba standing up against communist oppression and demanding a voice after decades of suffering under the yoke of a cruel dictatorship,\u201d DeSantis wrote in his letter to Biden. \u201cAs you know, the Cuban people are taking to the streets to protest the Communist regime, and the Cuban government has responded with violence. At first, the world could see the images and videos of this mass movement, but now the tyrannical regime of President Miguel D\u00edaz-Canel has shut off access to the Internet. The Cuban people have lost their ability to communicate with one another, and many Floridians born in Cuba have no information on the safety of their loved ones. Equally as important, the world has also lost the ability to see what is happening on the ground as the Cuban people rise in support of freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"10.031746031746\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Governor DeSantis\u2019s call for President Biden to provide the necessary support for American enterprises to deliver Internet service to the Cuban people is exactly right.<\/p>\n<p>We have the technical capability to do this &amp; doing so would show strong support for their fight for freedom: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/lLzms6btlq\">https:\/\/t.co\/lLzms6btlq<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Fe6X51H3ZY\">pic.twitter.com\/Fe6X51H3ZY<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Brendan Carr (@BrendanCarrFCC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BrendanCarrFCC\/status\/1415490164164644866?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 15, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><b>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/pitbull-implores-world-leaders-to-immediately-act-on-cuba-get-with-the-motherfing-program\">Pitbull Implores World Leaders To Immediately Act On Cuba: \u2018Get With The Motherf***ing Program\u2019<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
