 > Access Now’s partners have confirmed that the Tor network — a widely
 used tool allowing users to browse the internet anonymously — was blocked
 in Venezuela last week over the government-owned internet service provider
 CANTV, by far the largest ISP in the country.
 > “It seems that the government of Venezuela has found out how to do a
 very sophisticated block for the Tor network. It’s not only on the direct
 access channels, but also the bridges Tor provides to bypass that
 blocking,” said Melanio Escobar, Venezuelan technologist and journalist,
 and founder of Redes Ayuda.
