Alberto,

Venezuelans have experienced partial censorship/blockage from Twitter.
Twitter issued this statement for those experiencing issues.

The more data, first hard reports and through testing that is possible -
there more researchers can determine and independently assess what is
taking place.

I'd appreciate from those who might have additional details about
censorship, throttling and/or bandwidth shaping that might be taking place
in Venezuela.

Here's Twitter told Bloomberg that the Venezuelan government is blocking
protest images on the site. See article here:
