blocks appear to be part of a crackdown on internal dissent in both countries.

Or... you know... at least for Venezuela, the USA constantly fucking around with their elections and politics and local assets using Signal or something. Maybe, I dunno?

Yeah. Telegram, should be next, there's a huge risk with it too. And email! Social networks too, just in case. And postal mail, we can't forget that. We should crack down any form of uncensored communication.

All for the benefit of the people, of course. \s

We can't have individual thinkers running around can we. We need a shared vision that is dictated from the top down.

Like literal genocide being pushed from the top down as a pesky single issue vote? Our individual thinkers are too busy working 80hr weeks, btw.
