| 2010-12-22 |
| [El Universal] Now, it is a fact. The United Socialist Party of Venezuela used its majority vote in the National Assembly to pass the reform to the Radio, TV and Electronic Media Social Responsibility Law (Resorte Law). The online messages posted on the Internet will be regulated, after the amendment of the law. Article 28 of the law, referred to "prohibitions" provides that "electronic media providers must set procedures to allow the restriction, without delay, of the dissemination of messages which, for instance, "create anxiety in the citizenry," "alter public order," "disrespect public authorities," or "incite or promote murders." It further states that "electronic media providers will be responsible for the information and content deemed objectionable" disseminated in the web. |
