Following recent earthquakes in Venezuela, the organization VE Sin Filtro is urging the National Commission of Telecommunications (Conatel) to lift digital blocks on social media platforms, specifically X. The group is also requesting mobile phone companies maintain uninterrupted service for calls, SMS messaging, and internet access for all customers. These requests aim to facilitate communication and information sharing in the aftermath of the natural disaster. VE Sin Filtro argues that restricted access hinders rescue efforts and prevents citizens from connecting with loved ones. The organization believes unrestricted connectivity is crucial during emergencies. Currently, access to X remains blocked in Venezuela, complicating disaster response and public awareness. This situation highlights ongoing concerns about internet freedom and its impact on crisis management within the country.
