Venezuela’s Maduro, fearing US attack, promotes app to report suspect behavior
Faced with the prospect of armed conflict with the United States, Venezuela’s government seems to be encouraging citizens to spy on each other by using a revamped mobile application to report suspicious people or activities.
Faced with US military pressure in the southern Caribbean, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, fearing a "change of regime," has recently been encouraging citizens to monitor each other and report so-called "suspicious individuals" or activities.
Originally launched in 2022 as a tool for reporting faults in public services such as water and electricity, the app is now used to provide information to the government about any activity considered subversive or disloyal. It was removed from the app store in 2024.
