Havana Slams US Ploy To 'Subvert Internal Order' In Cuba Through Internet

Last update: 25/01/2018

HAVANA, Jan. 25 (BERNAMA-NNN-XINHUA) -- Cuba condemned on Wednesday the establishment of a U.S. "Internet Task Force" to spread anti-government propaganda, saying it is "aimed at subverting Cuba's internal order."

While the task force is charged with examining "the technological challenges and opportunities for expanding Internet access and independent media in Cuba," state daily Granma said, "in the past, phrases like promoting 'freedom of speech' and 'expanding access to the Internet in Cuba' have been used by Washington as a pretext for schemes to destabilize the country."

The U.S. Department of State announced Tuesday that it has created an Internet Task Force to promote "the free and unregulated flow of information."

The new manoeuvre revisits the "failed policies of the Cold War era," which the two countries tried to put behind them in December 2014, when then U.S. President Barack Obama and his Cuban counterpart Raul Castro announced their intention to normalize ties, the daily said.
