Cuba government filtering mobile text messages, dissidents say

“Cuba’s Communist government is filtering mobile phone text messages for key words such as ‘democracy’ and ‘human rights’ and then blocking them, dissidents said on Monday. An investigative report by blogger Yoani Sanchez and journalist Reinaldo Escobar concluded that text messages failed to reach their destinations if they contained Spanish words for democracy, human rights or hunger strike, among others, as well as the names of some dissidents.”
