President Hugo Chavez wants to regulate the Internet after Noticiero Digital a popular news website, posted information about some killings that happened in Venezuela. According to Chavez this information was false and therefore wants to regulate the flow of information on the Internet. "The Internet can't be something free where anything can be done and said. No, every country has to impose its rules and regulations," Chavez said in a televised speech on Saturday.
Noticiero Digital responded Sunday, posting a statement that Chavez's comments are "a serious threat against freedom of expression, threats that are becoming increasingly frequent in Venezuela, affecting radio stations, the press and now — Internet."
Chavez is also very critical of social networks such as Facebook and Twitter, he believes that many people use these social networks to slander many public officials.
