Facebook, US Helping to Stimulate November 15 Protests, Cuba Foreign Minister Says

The Cuban Foreign Minister said on Wednesday that the United States supports the planned November 15th protests against human rights and civil rights in the communist country, and the US-based social media platform Facebook is said to be helping to promote these protests. Dissidents on the island, organized under a Facebook group called Archipielago, requested permission to hold a rally in September.

The Cuban authorities rejected their request, claiming that the protesters were cooperating with the United States to overthrow the government. Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez reiterated these allegations before the meeting of foreign diplomats in Havana, saying that the United States helped sponsor and organize protests to destabilize the government.

“The American policy… is doomed to fail. This is not feasible. It has not worked for 60 years. It does not work now (…), and it will not work in the future,” he said. Rodriguez specifically mentioned the role of Facebook, saying that the dissidents organized in groups on the platform violated the social media platform’s own policies, “change the logarithm and change the geolocation mechanism to simulate having a known residence.

There are a large number of account holders in Cuba. Outside of our country, mainly in Florida and the United States.” Rodriguez said these practices violated U.S. and international law.

“As has already happened, Facebook can be sued for these practices against Cuba under strict compliance with the law.” Neither the US State Department nor Facebook, which recently changed its company name to Meta, did not immediately respond to Reuters’ request for comment. Cuba’s recent expansion of Internet access has provided people with new ways to share criticism and mobilize online.

Tom signs Nolan’s next

This will mark the first collaboration between Tom and Christopher. While details of his next directorial aren’t known yet, it’s most likely not to have a contemporary setting. It’ll be either set in the past like, his previous film Oppenheimer (2023), or in the future like Interstellar (2014). Matt Damon, who has worked with Christopher in both, has also come on board his next.

Christopher’s next will be co-produced by him and his wife Emma Thomas’ banner Syncopy Inc and Universal Pictures, as the two production houses will team up after the Academy Award-winning blockbuster Oppenheimer last year. Prior to Oppenheimer, Christopher collaborated mostly with Warner Bros before having a fallout post the debacle of Tenet (2020).

Warner Bros then went on to produce Greta Gerwig’s musical satire Barbie, which clashed with Oppenheimer at the box office and even outperformed it globally. Warner Bros offered Christopher a cheque for the fees he waived off for helming Tenet during the pandemic. While Christopher graciously accepted the belated remuneration, he still went on to pitch his next to Warner Bros.

Tom’s busy schedule

Tom didn’t have any release this year. His last outing was Todd Graff’s psychological thriller show The Crowded Room on Apple TV last year. He’ll juggle the filming of Christopher Nolan’s next and Spider-Man 4 in 2025. Tom has been playing the superhero ever since Russo Brothers’ 2016 blockbuster Captain America: Civil War. He’s slipped into the Peter Parker shoes post that for three standalone films and two Avengers movies. Spider-Man 4 will be helmed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton.

As Tom’s girlfriend and co-star Zendaya will be busy filming Spider-Man 4 in 2025, she’ll reprise her role of Chani in Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi spectacle Dune 3 only in 2026. Meanwhile, Tom is also likely to make an appearance as Spider-Man in Russo Brothers’ Avengers: Doomsday, which will go on floors in the spring of 2025.
