Government officials have ordered service personnel at the Cyber Café in
downtown Camagüey to go over all e-mail sent from the facility as well as to
oversee customers' navigation.

      "This is what I have been ordered by my supervisors," said Leandro, a
young man who works at the Cyber Café. His duties include analyzing all
messages, approving them and even recording them without the users'
knowledge.

      The Cyber Café, located at 121 Popular Street in the center of
Camagüey's provincial capital, is operated by Prensa Latina, the official
Cuban news agency, but the guidelines for the scrutiny of customers' traffic
come from the Company for Security in Informatics, yet another government
agency, said Mr. Landa, the man in charge of the Cyber Café.
