CARACAS, VENEZUELA -- Venezuela hit back at Facebook over "digital totalitarianism" after President Nicolas Maduro's account was frozen for 30 days for spreading disinformation about the coronavirus pandemic.
"We're watching digital totalitarianism, carried out by supranational companies that want to impose their rule on the world's countries," said the communication and information ministry in a statement.Venezuela's opposition accuses Maduro of being a dictator who has held onto power through fraudulent elections.
Maduro's page is only frozen, meaning it will remain visible but the leftist president will not be able to add new posts. Caracas also said Facebook's "act of censorship" was an "extension" of US sanctions against Venezuela in a bid to topple Maduro.
So I guess that makes Facebook the leader of earth and politics. By them doing this they chip away at democracy.
Regardless, Facebooks ability to censor a countries political rhetoric is tyrannical.
Facebook is full of fake news, so what is the difference. Just because the guy is President, so what, They are lying anyway!!!
