Cuban FM Rodriguez denounces double standards and media manipulation

Havana, Feb 24 (Prensa Latina) Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez on Friday denounced the manipulation and double standards by international consortia such as Meta, which participate in the disinformation campaign against Cuba.

On his Twitter profile, the head of Cuban diplomacy pointed out that the person in charge of policies on Facebook’s parent company is a former campaign manager of an anti-Cuba Republican senator.

He stressed that the private company ideologically biases its most recent report (in which its announced the removal of “inauthentic” accounts from Serbia, Cuba and Bolivia, allegedly linked to governments or political parties in power to disseminate their content).

Rodriguez pointed out that instead of using the derisory payment for advertising as an argument, a service that is inaccessible to Cuba due to the US blockade, Meta should explain its own inauthentic and biased behavior by allowing denigration, stigmatization and the generation of hate campaigns from Florida against Cuba.

Despite the efforts to censor our voice and make truth invisible, Cubans will continue to defend our Revolution and its socialist system of social justice, also in the digital field against harassment and destabilizing operations, Rodriguez tweeted.
