Human Rights Group Warns of Maduro's New Surveillance Reporting App

Nicolás Maduros proposed surveillance app, aimed at allowing citizens to report activities 24/7, has been condemned by the non-governmental organization VEsinFiltro as a threat to privacy and freedom of speech.

• The non-governmental organization VEsinFiltro announced that Nicolás Maduros proposed app for citizen reporting represents a nuevo mecanismo de vigilancia that could infringe on personal freedoms.
• According to VEsinFiltro, the application may intensify censorship in Venezuela, as it encourages citizens to monitor and report on each other continuously.
• The initiative raises serious concerns about privacy and the potential for abuse, undermining the already precarious state of freedom of speech in Venezuela.
