Espacio Público, a Venezuelan organization, asserts that censorship continues in Venezuela despite the recent unblocking of various web portals. The group states the method used to restore access to these websites indicates that the initial blocking was implemented administratively and arbitrarily. This suggests a lack of due process and raises concerns about the potential for future, similar actions. Espacio Público warns that merely restoring access does not address the underlying issue of governmental control over information. They emphasize the need for legal reforms to prevent future arbitrary blocking of media outlets. The organization’s statement appeared on the TalCual news website. This development casts doubt on claims of improved press freedom in Venezuela.
