Microsoft blocks Messenger in Cuba and other US-embargoed countries (open letter)
Dear Sir/Madam
I read with distress that Microsoft has decided to block Messenger in Cuba and other US-embargoed countries.
I only have a question: WHY?
It is extremely disappointing to say the least that a company as influential and innovative as Microsoft would make such a move. Microsoft has shown commitment to community and responsibility, and to enhancing communications, so this is very sad.
To quote from the Ars Technica website as seen here http://bit.ly/K2t6
: "Messenger is a medium for communication, and the citizens of these countries should not be punished from such a basic tool because the US has problems with their governments' policies. "
Kind regards
Ignacio Abella
