Users denounced through social networks the blocking of the Wikipedia page by the state communications company Cantv.

The blockade by the Internet company Aba Cantv, was recorded from the morning of this Saturday, when the Venezuelans tried to enter the portal and they ran into the surprise that access was restricted.

On January 11 the information portal had updated the profile of the president of the National Assembly Juan Guaidó, who had been designated by the website as the interim president of Venezuela.

Translation: CANTV has blocked access to Wikipedia a site with so much educational content and the worst reasons are (we already know all) that prompted them to do so. It seems that falling low is the best task that these nefarious characters do
