CiberCuba News has achieved another historic milestone on Facebook, surpassing 5 million followers. This achievement further establishes CiberCuba's main page as one of the largest digital communities for Cubans both on and off the island.
The page has reached a total of 5,000,043 followers, according to Meta's audience data. The community is composed of 53.5% women and 46.5% men, with a particularly strong presence among the 25 to 54 age group.
This record-breaking achievement is a testament to sustained growth. In 2020, CiberCuba News surpassed one million Facebook followers; by 2022, they had exceeded two million; in 2023, they reached three million; and by April 2025, they celebrated hitting four million followers.
The leap to five million comes after a period of significant audience expansion across social media, the web, and its mobile app. In March 2025, CiberCuba set historical audience records, including 911.9 million Facebook views in 28 days and nearly 1.43 million active users on its web and app within a week.
A month later, the main Facebook page achieved another significant milestone by surpassing four million followers. In less than a month, it garnered 1 billion views, 10.9 million interactions, and over 180,000 new followers, demonstrating CiberCuba's ability to connect with a vast, active, and diverse audience.
A Resilient Community Despite Censorship
The growth of CiberCuba News is not merely about accumulating followers. It reflects the trust of millions who turn to the platform daily for information on Cuban realities, emigration, Miami, U.S. politics, human rights, the economic crisis on the island, entertainment, and sports.
In a landscape dominated by the Cuban regime's censorship, digital blockades, and the persecution of independent voices, every new follower strengthens a community seeking verified, immediate information free from official filters.
This connection has been especially evident during high-impact news events. In January 2026, CiberCuba set a record on Facebook with 96 million views in a single day while covering the arrest of Nicolás Maduro, President Donald Trump's press conference, and the political implications for Cuba.
Expanding Beyond Facebook
While Facebook remains a crucial platform for connecting with the Cuban audience, CiberCuba has also bolstered its own channels and other distribution spaces. The website, mobile app, and Google Discover are integral to their strategy to reach readers wherever they consume information.
In October 2025, the media outlet guided its readers on setting up Google Discover to follow all CiberCuba news, providing an additional way to receive content directly on mobile devices without solely relying on social media algorithms.
The expansion of the community further confirms CiberCuba's role as a gathering point for a dispersed nation. From Cuba, the United States, Spain, and other countries, millions of readers engage, comment, share, and amplify stories that often find no space in the island's official media.
Appreciation for Our Audience
Surpassing five million Facebook followers is a cause for celebration for the entire CiberCuba team, but it also brings responsibility. Each number represents people who trust, demand, critique, share, and support the daily work of a newsroom committed to reporting on Cuba and Cubans.
To all our followers, readers, collaborators, and users who join us on social media, the web, the app, and other platforms: thank you for growing this community and keeping a free, plural, and connected Cuban voice alive. CiberCuba will continue to work with rigor, immediacy, and editorial commitment to remain a vital news source for Cubans worldwide.
