Venezuela says it's working on a way to kill Google and Mozilla so no one knows about its currency crash
http://www.businessinsider.com/venezuela-to-block-currency-information-2015-5 Venezuelans have been getting around all of that, though, by using Twitter and other websites that pick up DolarToday's content. This trend led one legislator, Juan Carlos Aleman, to suggest that Venezula should take on Google and Mozilla, the maker of the Firefox web browser. Aleman went on TV Monday and said "the problem is that we rely on servers like Google and Firefox that are search-engine technology that we don't have under our national control." Aleman said that Venezuala's Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation was working on a way to use the country's satellites "so that we can assert our independence and control this situation." - - - Good luck with that, boys. --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein ([email protected]): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://google.com/+LaurenWeinstein Twitter: http://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com _______________________________________________ pfir mailing list http://lists.pfir.org/mailman/listinfo/pfir
