Venezuela without Filters (VSF by its Spanish acronym) is a project that seeks to defend digital rights in Venezuela.
To do this, it takes advantage of existing studies and recognized research results to document and obtain critical information on the scale of cyberattacks sponsored by the Venezuelan government against dissidents, independent media, and civil society organizations and activists, trying to identify government surveillance efforts and strengthening documentation on Internet censorship and network interference.
The results of the research conducted by VSF contain real-time updates on the status of the Internet in Venezuela, including detailed technical explanations of the blocks that have occurred in the country, and are published in both English and Spanish. The findings of this work are used to issue recommendations and share best practices for protecting digital rights. They can also be used by trainers and professionals working on digital security in the civic space.
