17. US Top Diplomat Monitored Internet in Cuba
Edited on Sat Aug-27-11 11:57 AM by EFerrari
Havana, Cuba, Aug 27.- Chief of Mission of the US Interest Section in Havana, Jonathan Farrar, monitored the Internet for possible subversive actions, according to a cable released by Wikileaks and reproduced by Cuban websites on Saturday.
Farrar's monitoring of the Internet along with his wife occurred in August 2008, when he addressed a memorandum to the US State Department described as sensitive, without reporting any obstacle from Cuban authorities.

The diplomat suggested the White House to facilitate programs to circumvent regulations established by local Internet providers, as denounced by cubasi.cu website, reproduced today by Cubadebate website.

The memorandum said that USINT in Cuba welcomes all contributions coming from Washington, where work is undergoing to develop programs to avoid Internet filters.

It also announced that he would try to improve local Internet conditions and consider its possible use in website operations.
