The measure didn’t have any public repercussions until September 25th, when user Roberto Garces Marrero posted on Twitter that it was now impossible to send medicines to Cuba from Mexico, using this company. The news came crashing down like a bucket of cold water on hundreds of Cubans living in Mexico, who have been organizing the sending of humanitarian aid parcels to Cuba during the current health crisis.

The Government decided to restrict access to internet services. Reports began to come in from Cubans about the missing services. The restrictions were confirmed by a report from the internet monitor, NetBlocks.
