The Cuban government seems to start thinking about new ways to narrow down the information that travels across the country. Recently Mairata Sandro, who writes on issues related to Latin America to Tumblr channel Univision, published some screenshots of the project called 'Red Social ".
The website is obviously equal to Facebook, where even the same sequence of buttons, layout and visual identity can be easily recognized. The logo sort of tangled up with the old version of MySpace icons.
The project is supposed to be headed by Minister of Education, although it is always difficult to confirm this information when it comes to any action of the country. Set in the air almost noiselessly, Red Social has raised questions about its true purpose.
On the website homepage replaces the image of world map commonly used by Facebook for that of the island of Cuba, signed by the phrase "A virtual meeting place for Cuban Universities."
The blogger Carlos Alberto Benitez La Chiringa * of Cuba said in one of your posts that the project serves as a kind of intranet, online, with access restricted to just local internet connections, making it impossible to access it elsewhere.
Many sources have confirmed it can not access the domain http://facebook.ismm.edu.cu in dif countries. Here in Brazil, apparently, is equally impossible.
Curiously the base url inicilmente include the word "facebook" as a subdomain, which has already ventured implications of brand misuse and possible problems associated with patents. For most it is restricted and controlled the flow of information because of the political regime of the country, it is hard to believe that a carbon copy of so literal largest social network in the world could be so naively developed without any just retribution.
I personally believe that the rapid entry-exit strategy, and has the typical Cuban touch, where the controversy seems to always attract the necessary attention. If this is not where the project should have been thrown away from the radar of the interwebs, then someone made enough mistakes amateurs in the early stages of the network.
Immediately after the publication of Benitez on the above address, apparently concerned about the type of response that Facebook, the engineers behind the project created a new domain for the network http://neko.uclv.edu.cu/index. php / equally inaccessible, but only from the island itself.
However, the likely problems linked to all the visual and functional network can still persist. For now Facebook has not expressed any opinion on the matter.
A year ago, Cuba had already undertaken the construction of EcuRed, which gives his version - both in form and in content - the online encyclopedia Wikipedia on .. all.
