Venezuela's Internet Crackdown Escalates into Regional Blackout
http://j.mp/1oYIQ29 (EFF)
"For the last month, Venezuela has been caught up in widespread
protests against its government. The Maduro administration has
responded by cracking down on what it claims as being foreign
interference online. As that social unrest has escalated, the state's
censorship has widened: from the removal of television stations from
cable networks, to the targeted blocking of social networking
services, and the announcement of new government powers to censor and
monitor online. Last night, EFF received reports from Venezuelans of
the shutdown of the state Internet provider in San Cristbal, a
regional capital in the west of the country."
