HAVANA TIMES — Cuba supported with reservations about the Human Rights Council UN resolution that first recognized the right of individuals to freedom of expression on the Internet, reports Reuters.
The representative of the island, Juan Antonio Quintanilla, said in Geneva on Thursday that the text doesn’t address the fact that most people worldwide lack access to these technologies.
The text doesn’t “say anything about Internet governance, we all know that this tool is controlled by a single country worldwide,” said the Cuban diplomat referring to the U.S.
The Cuban government maintains that it privileges “social use” of the Internet over private use, while maintaining tight control over access of their citizens and even limitations in state institutions for this service.
