[governance] Cyberspace is being used as a battlefield in Venezuela

[Imran Ahmed Shah]

We read some news about  that Internet went down in most of the city area about midnight on Wednesday, 

According to AP/ Yahoo news, while Hacktivists also have been attacking government websites. Government was also blocking selected websites and a "walkie-talkie" service widely used by protesters.

>'Internet connectivity was gradually restored to San Cristobal, capital of the western border state of Tachira, Friday morning after an outage of more than 30 hours that also affected smartphones.'

If you have further detail information and statistics, please share? How much sites are blocked? Is there any National CERT handling the Hacktivists? What is the point of view of Civil Society?

Thanks
