The mere fact that the Venezuelan government has dealt with the outcry of what happens on Twitter, Facebook and other networks, regardless of Cuba to a senior specialist in this field repression, triggered alerts for all who have been studied the subject of information technology in Venezuela for many years.

That is where a government can defend the state argued, violate human rights and privacy of citizens? This deviation in countries like ours where there are still deeply presidential traits and trends authoritarian history, even more vulnerable citizens’ rights of individuals. If a state may under its power to control even the smallest piece of information about its citizens, without respect for the law and the Constitution, all other human rights are seriously threatened.
