On Twitter, Bruno Rodríguez posted that a recent communication from the State Department ratified such a measure.

‘New Informative Note from @StateDept confirms that communication and computing services between #Cuba and the U.S., including the Internet, are banned, by law and by policy, except for the exceptions described therein, Bruno Rodríguez live-tweeted.

Recently, the Cuban foreign minister denounced that the US blockade is the major obstacle to Cuban citizens´ connection to the Internet, as well as to digital networks and other telecommunications services.
