🇻🇪 Carlos Correa, Executive Director of NGO Espacio Público, has been missing since hooded (presumed) public officers intercepted him in Caracas on Jan 7.

As Nicolás Maduro takes over a new term, Venezuelan activists warn about increased retaliation.

⚠️ I was featured in the latest BBC Trending podcast "Trolled", which discussed the case of AI-generated disinformative content on YouTube which was deceptively disseminated by VTV state TV channel as "real news", and about 🇻🇪 digital troops on Twitter:

Last night, while protests were taking place in #Cuba 🇨🇺 there was an Internet shutdown in the country.

The Cuban regime does this to stop the dissemination of photos and videos of the demonstrations and repression.
