Citing U.S. sanctions on Cuba, OpenSea, the world’s largest marketplace for non-fungible tokens (NFT), said today that it’s banning digital artists from all countries sanctioned by the United States.
The ban came to light last week after NFTcuba.ART, a project that helps Cuban artists succeed in the NFT industry, tweeted that OpenSea had disabled its profile on the marketplace. Censorship in web3 companies affects not only “Cubans on the island,” but also those of other nationalities, according to NFTcuba.ART. According to the project, the sanctions are being applied unfairly to Cuban artists who live outside the island nation.
