Semana: “Chávez lashes out against Twitter”
After an unprecedented virtual protest on Twitter, in which thousands of messages asked for his resignation and demanded a Venezuela with freedom of speech and of the press, the president of Venezuela, Hugo Chávez, asked the National Assembly deputies to prepare a law for the control of the Internet.
Twitter could be declared an “instrument of terrorism” because the deputies, in reply to the presidential request, declared that they would intervene “for the well-being of the people”, by eliminating the terrorist threats posed by social networks.
Goodbye, Internet. (Via Boing Boing.)
