In this episode, Andres Azpurua, Executive Director of a Venezuelan digital human rights NGO, joins us to discuss ongoing government internet censorship in Venezuela, especially during and after the recent controversial presidential election. Andres explains the technical methods used to document and counteract censorship, such as DNS tampering and state-sponsored phishing, highlighting how these actions are intertwined with political repression. Ultimately, the organization aims to hold the government accountable and increase the political cost of censorship by documenting evidence and advocating for internet freedom as a human right.
