Officials scrutinize cyber-traffic and e-mail

CAMAGUEY, May 29 (Ramón Armas Guerrero, ACP / www.cubanet.org) - Government officials have ordered service personnel at the Cyber Café in downtown Camagüey to go over all e-mail sent from the facility as well as to oversee customers' navigation.

"This is what I have been ordered by my supervisors," said Leandro, a young man who works at the Cyber Café. His duties include analyzing all messages, approving them and even recording them without the users' knowledge.

The Cyber Café, located at 121 Popular Street in the center of Camagüey's provincial capital, is operated by Prensa Latina, the official Cuban news agency, but the guidelines for the scrutiny of customers' traffic come from the Company for Security in Informatics, yet another government agency, said Mr. Landa, the man in charge of the Cyber Café.
