Tibisay talks, freedom dies
Electoral Council President Tibisay Lucena says that she will block web pages that violate the law by “publishing results.”
On what basis does this woman become the arbiter of the Internet? Who is *she* to say what I can or cannot publish … from abroad? Why is she the arbiter of the information Venezuelans get? Is she going to block Facebook and Twitter as well?
After the long lines of people wanting to vote and the threats to personal freedom, there is no doubt in my mind that this woman … is a complete failure.
