They denounce the fact that the Nicolás Maduro government cut some of the Internet access in Venezuela

The NetBlocks Internet Observatory, responsible for badyzing places that restrict free access to websites, confirmed that the Venezuelan state telephone company (CANTV) interrupted access to different online platforms like YouTube, Periscope, Bing, Facebook and Twitter.

Users have mbadively denounced the connection limitations, in the middle of a tense climate due to the appeal of Juan Guaidó and Leopoldo López to an uprising against Nicolás Maduro. In a few hours, the ruling party was limiting access to the Internet.

"The cuts mark a sudden escalation of Internet censorship imposed by the state, which seems to lead to critical speeches." The data is consistent with interruptions previously recorded during Juan Guaidó's public appearances and sessions of Venezuela's National Assembly. ", they told the NGO.

Early on, US Senator Marco Rubio denounced the fact that Chavismo had cut off access to social networks with the help of Chinese technicians.

The government of Nicolás Maduro has long been blocking social networks, websites and online services. Between January 21 and 23, NetBlocks denounced the blockade of Venezuela to Twitter, in a context of growing tensions.
