Venezuela shows danger of dictators who use tech to control people
Fox News
Venezuela's President Maduro has secured power and abused people's rights with tech repression. To fight back against it, the US has to support global digital freedom.
Jorge Jraissati is the president of the Economic Inclusion Group, an expert on the intersection of foreign policy with economics and finance, and an influential voice in his home country, Venezuela.
However, Maduro has been able to undermine these efforts. He has repressed people by using instruments created for mass surveillance, which should not have been at his disposal if sanctions had been correctly implemented. He has even managed to ban X and Signal from the country, showing the ease of taking away people’s digital freedoms.
