Cuba again appears among the countries with the greatest restrictions on Internet access. The assessment comes from Freedom House's Freedom on the Net 2026 global digital-freedom report. It keeps Cuba among the most restricted cases and classifies the country as not free. The description combines a qualitative category with a numerical measure of Internet conditions.

Cuba received 19 points out of 100. The same account places it as the worst-rated country in Latin America. That regional ranking adds a comparative reference to the score and presents it as the lowest result in the region. The report was published Thursday.

The not-free classification summarizes Cuba's result, while the score provides a specific measure and the regional comparison positions it against other Latin American countries. The information also says Cuba remains among the world's most restricted cases. It therefore offers both a global view of Internet access and a regional ranking.

Identifying Freedom House as the author establishes the source of the classification and score. The information concerns Cuba's Internet access and expresses the result through a category, a numerical score and a regional comparison, while the worldwide reference places the country among those with the most severe restrictions.
