Nope it doesn't.
It just means that previously the access to the website wasn't closed to
the Cuba intranet users.
And yes Dan.
In Cuba lots of people have access to the internet through a "third
party": a doctor friend, a state employee, an education official.
Students in Cuba go to their teachers to connect to the net to get for
example updates for anti-virus software.
I'm sure there are sometimes legitimate reasons for using another
person's internet account. Other cases are just plain theft of scarce
public resources.
Dan's exposed lie:
"This suggests either illegal usage of an internet account, or access
through a third party like the US Interests Section."

The facts:
"Tim Worstall echoes his sentiment in this post, while TonyTeri.com
acknowledges that "it takes extreme guts for her (Sanchez) to write
about what she does. She actually has to roam about Cuba blogging from
hotels and other areas with Internet access usually reserved for
foreigners."


Nice cover story. Even if this is true, however, internet access was
$5 for 2 minutes at the hotel I was staying in Cuba a few weeks ago. I
couldn't afford that.

With the house you have in the suburbs that sounds very hollow.

No honest Cuban could afford it either.

False.

Over 50% of Cubans get remittances from abroad

Who would be paying her that kind of money?

family.

But thanks for admitting that your lying innuendo was no more than that.

Note that we are still waiting for you to show what was so bad on the blog that it warrants this violation of the right of free speech.
