Translated from Spanish

"The Minister of Communication and Information of Venezuela, Jorge Rodríguez , announced on Monday, November 13 that the National Telecommunications Commission (Conatel) will prevent the proliferation of hate "politics" on social networks, within the framework of the Anti-Hate Law. that recently approved the ANC.

"We are establishing technological mechanisms to prevent hate policies from being maintained through social networks," said the minister, flanked by Education Minister Elías Jaua and Delcy Rodríguez , president of the National Constituent Assembly (ANC).

The head of Communication explained that Conatel will define ways to control these aspects on platforms such as Twitter or Facebook." As Conatel takes necessary control of public and private dissemination mechanisms will also act at the level of social networks, " he said.

Rodriguez said that many people "have been subjected to discrimination, have been subjected to escraches* (harassment), hatred, any type of event at odds with peaceful coexistence and those campaigns that are often disseminated by some kind of political motivation."

*escraches = a constituent giving a politician a "piece of their mind". A proper bawling out. It will cost a VZ voter about 20 years in prison in the New Improved Chavista Venezuela for embarrassing a Chavista in that manner.
