Cuba files complaint against US over covert social network


By 

Cuba filed a complaint before the ITU over a covert mobile phone-based social network launched by the US on the island nation, according to state news agency Granma.
The social network, known as ZunZuneo, operated from 2010 to 2012, reaching more than 40,000 users at its peak.
After an Associated Press report uncovered the operation, Cuban leader Raúl Castro accused the US of "subversive" tactics to destabilize the local government. The US Agency for International Development (USAID), which ran the project, said it stood behind its work to promote human rights and universal freedoms in Cuba.
Cuban diplomat Anayansi Rodríguez said that ZunZuneo illegally used local service platforms, creating instability on the island's telecoms network.
Cuba also claims that the social network violates not just Cuban laws, but also US legislation and international regulations that prohibit spam messaging.
Meanwhile, Cuba's permanent mission in Geneva said that other social media platforms seeking to influence Cuban society​ - PiramideoMartinoticias and Diario de Cuba - continue to receive US funding.
Those platforms aim to create a false opposition to implement a change in Cuba's political system in line with US government interests, the release said.
The US government has stated that ZunZuneo was implemented in accordance with US law.
