More people died, 2 more of my students got arrested, its 4 so far 1 still missing.
How do you tell their family thats fake?The fight its not only on the streets, theres also a media war, its true.
Everyday dozen of pictures and videos flood the social network.
Some of them are either fake or from past events.
I would like to remember everyone something bout Chavez, he knew very well how to influence media.
He was a propaganda monster, and did a very good job capitalizing most of the national media (newspapers and tv channels)
They took over twitter for years, every single political personality have a twitter acc, most of the armed collectives do too.
They managed to create bots that made trending topics w/e they want.
I been asked myself to fake images or documents, dates, stuff like that.
some of the fake images or date are made by them in order to generated false info. People here are not very techy, its hard for
some to realice if an image its really fresh or from past events / another country.
People see some crazy vids from Kiev and think thats happening here in another state.This past 2 weeks goberment blocked the twitter images server for a couple days.
Also some talkie walkie like apps been blocked.
They know the amount of visual evidence its huge. They cant take control over it.Last day Maduro went on national TV again, dancing, celebrating and doing stupid stuff while the people mourns the dead of relatives in the street.
Maybe some of you remember this picture I took myself
I live in a not so wealthy neiborhood, most people here know Im not pro-gov, some are ok with it some are a bit more sensitive.
I coulndt take the risk to go down the street with my camera for a closer look, things were really tense and I cant afford to lose my gear.
It will take me years of saving to get another camera.You guys may want to re-read this old QBN post when Chavez died:
Things went down hill here since that day.
Right now I cant assure there been 10 deads since it all started, there could be way more. Theres people with injures that may not make it.
Im staying home tonite, tomorrow we go out again.
