[liberationtech] New Posting of Yoani Sánchez' How to Tweet from Cuba due to unsuccessful link

[Andrew Lewis]

Yes it's insecure as hell, but in Cuba they really have no other options at the moment. 

And in Cuba most activists operate in the clear, as it makes it more difficult to disappear them, as well as easier to force release in the event of arrest. It's just a different threat model and operating environment.
