Venezuelans regain access to social network X, ending Maduro’s yearlong block
Venezuelans regained access to X after Maduro's blockade ended following his capture; the platform had been suspended for over a year amid election fraud allegations.
- On Jan 13, X became accessible in Venezuela, ending a more-than-yearlong block imposed by deposed president Nicolás Maduro.
- Nicolás Maduro suspended X in August after the contested July 2024 election amid allegations of fraud and shut it down in retaliation for criticism of that election.
- Ministers, lawmakers and government institutions stopped updating their X pages during the blockade, while access remained spotty and Elon Musk, owner of X, engaged in heated exchanges with the ousted leader.
- Interim President Delcy Rodriguez assumed power on January 3 after Maduro's capture in attacks that left more than 100 dead, and she updated her X bio urging unity and saying, `We want you back`.
- Maduro and his wife face US charges of alleged drug trafficking, and Maduro's X account was updated with a photo of him and Cilia Flores.
