Before I begin, as a Venezuelan, I must thank you for denouncing the dictatorship in Venezuela. In order to visualize an economic solution on the part of the government, I must say categorically that, after 20 years of economic improvisations, I doubt the efficiency of this government to solve any problem.
I read your text and I can't help recalling how in a post I read recently in steemit people were shocked to learn of the control and censorship that exists in China with the Internet. Not knowing that in Venezuela, a supposedly democratic country, similar or worse things are happening. There is the case of El Nacional and Tal Cual, newspapers against the regime that had to stop circulating because of the supposed shortage of paper. When we all know that in the end everything was a move by the government to get these newspapers out of the game. The same happens with pages, accounts, that denounce or that are not complacent with the chavistas, they can be censored, case of La Patilla or Dollar Today.
We all know that when in 2002, in front of the presidential network that sought to misinform and hide what was happening in the country, RCTV and other private channels dared to cut the screen in two to show the two sides of the coin, that day they signed their death sentence. Because this government, like mafiosi, acts like this: it does not confront, it only takes out of the way, it eliminates the one who confronts it.
What worries me most is not the censorship that the government has, but the self-censorship that exists in the media. It seems that the country is big and the fear is great. A hug, @dedicatedguy
