" Microsoft has deleted the Windows Live Messenger IM users in countries placed under embargo by the United States, which is why Microsoft will no longer offer the Windows Live service in your country . This is written as a justification in the support page, users attempting to connect. The news appeared on the official website a few days ago Cuban CubaDebate and taken up by Corriere della Sera. Besides Cuba, the countries are penalized Iran, North Korea , Syria and Sudan .
This decision seems inconsistent with the latest measures announced by the President of the USA. Obama had in fact eliminated in April, the restrictions on travel and remittances by Cuban - Americans who have relatives in Cuba and, more recently, has proposed the resumption of meetings with the island on immigration. On the site
Cuban explains that to get around the block, just change your country of residence in the program settings. A temporary solution, however. This measure can weigh further on the situation of certain countries that do not stand for freedom in communication. Just to refresh your memory, we know that in Iran Facebook has been banned for three days to the elections, the Popular Core R EPUBLIC is in an extremely closed and repressive, leaving no leak outside its borders any kind of information (think of the measures concerning the use of mobile phones, which involve both the local population and tourists who are retired and returned at the time of departure); that Syrian authorities have blocked Facebook as a "vehicle of Israeli culture that could corrupt the morals of young Syrians," and finally that the Sudan is under threat of closure of social Network: the Declaration of Rights and Responsibilities proposed by Facebook in fact deny the use of the service jobs to countries under U.S. embargo (point 4.3). Regarding this Statement of Rights and Responsibilities I am a bit ', as they say, but by the fall. I did not know it was in the approval process, nor even that there was a chance to vote (until April 23) by using a special application . Maybe some of you are more awake and aware of me ... however, as the vote was concluded and with what results we have reached a final decision? Frankly I have not found clear answers, if anyone knows more ... comment!
