Venezuela Regains Access to Social Media Platform X After Yearlong Blockade

Social media platform X became accessible again in Venezuela on Tuesday, over a year after being blocked by former President Nicolas Maduro. Maduro was captured by U.S. forces on January 3, along with his wife, who face drug trafficking charges. Interim President Delcy Rodriguez, formerly Maduro's vice president, updated her bio with a message of unity and stability. The block was reportedly imposed by Maduro in retaliation for criticism following the contested July 2024 election, which he won amid fraud allegations.
