State Security ends up censoring the previous week the usual Mexican-Colombian-American series The Lord of the Heavens in its sixth season, right now in transmission. The narconovela (as it is also called) was not transmitted by Cuban television, but by the Weekly Pack.
The information came from a note disclosed in our Pack, an alternative means of audiovisual consumption mainly produced in the overseas, which is a very unique business in our country. The reason given is that "the content defames Cuba and our government, implicating it in drug trafficking around the world."
The government does not want to accept that this information is processed by the Cuban people, regardless of the conspiracy of the fiction
Since the fifth season, the relationship of the Castros with the traffic was already addressed in the plot that on this occasion apparently escaped the surveillance of the political police. On the other hand, the series El Comandante, on the life of Hugo Chávez was banned because he had in some data an approach on the Bolivarian leader different from that officially supported by the country.
It is remarkable to distinguish between the ways of censorship used in both cases, perhaps obeying a refinement of their methods of work. For the Commander they joined last year with all the recorders of the country in each town hall and explained to them that "they had to remove the series, that they did not realize their work permit could be canceled, "and probably lose their ways of working
Now, with The Lord of heaven went directly to the motherhouses to carry out censorship, which is much more effective because the content" pernicious "for them n & # 39 is not distributed. However, the shock in the population on this occasion is different because it is a highly regarded and expected series. The Commander, on the other hand, did not have a huge impact and fewer people have heard of the censorship. The prohibition of the Lord of heaven soon became a novelty
Everything suggests that for this reason the engravers could negotiate with State Security the possibility of distributing the "edited" series. Before reaching the customers, each chapter must be inspected and all content involving Cuba must be cut. For this reason, after the censorship notice, another message arrived in the following packet, teaching that "the series will be redistributed, but with one day late to be able to edit it."
The Cuban government, through its censorship mechanisms, not only controls and subordinates the official media according to their interests, but also does so with the private space that distributes the content. The veiled threat of suspending work permits and confiscating their means, leaving them without legal defense, forces the self-employed to obey. Order the Weekly Pack distributors to emulate the CCP censors in the official media, which sift the information we have the opportunity to consume.
In the Weekly Pack some recorders dominate the distribution of digital content, previously received by satellite dishes or via the Internet. The programs are selected and adapted to the characteristics of our audience, creating a pack of about one tegabyte of different information. At first it had a weekly continuity (hence its name) but currently it is distributed twice a week, and the rest of the days are offered updates to please an audience that wants immediacy .
In a few hours it is distributed all over the country providing hundreds of engravers, located in each neighborhood. It is very common to see the tails in the portals where they are recorded. According to some experts, it is nowadays the most common means of audiovisual consumption in Cuba, exceeding the official television.
