Venezuela’s president Nicolás Maduro has blocked X in the country for 10 days after claiming that the platform’s owner Elon Musk had incited hatred and “violated” his own social network’s rules. “Shame on Dictator Maduro,” wrote Musk, who claimed that the incumbent president had committed “major election fraud.”
Maduro, who also argued that his rivals were using the platform to stoke political unrest, said he greenlit a proposal by the national telecoms authority to “remove the social network X, formerly known as Twitter, from circulation in Venezuela for 10 days.” That’s according to the Associated Press, which said its reporters in the country were unable to access X after the proclamation. X does not have a public relations department that can be reached for comment.
