Did you know that WhatsApp usage in Venezuela has increased by 300% since 2020? And it's not just about staying informed, it's also a way for people to stay connected with each other, especially with family members living abroad . Meanwhile, on X (formerly Twitter), the average user spends around 2 hours per day using the platform . That's like watching 7 hours of Netflix in one sitting ! But seriously, the US military attack has highlighted just how reliant Venezuelans are on these digital platforms for survival . And have you seen this graph showing the growth of Telegram usage in Venezuela? It's like a rocket ship taking off into space!
I feel so bad for the ppl in Venezuela They're already dealing with a lot of hardships & now they have 2 navigate their digital lives under this new "state of external emergency" It's like, on one hand, they need these digital tools to stay informed & safe, but on the other hand, there's this constant fear of being monitored or arrested They just wanna get some info without worrying about the government watching their every move, u feel? It's like, can't we all just have access 2 reliable info without having 2 be so secretive The situation is def still uncertain & it's hard 2 imagine what the future holds for them
man i feel so bad for venezuelan ppl they're living in this crazy world where gov is trying to control everything but at the same time they've had to get creative with digital tools to stay informed it's like they're constantly on high alert, never knowing when their devices might be tapped or their online activities monitored and it's not just about the censorship, it's also about the fear of being arrested or detained for sharing info that's "sensitive" Maduro's decree was so harsh, suspending public services and oil production... it's like they're living in a state of emergency 24/7 i hope there's a light at the end of this tunnel for venezuelan ppl, but until then, they'll just have to keep adapting and using these digital tools to survive
