Message to INFODIO readers: investigative journalism, which is what this site does, takes lots of time. Visiting media looking for a quick run down on Venezuela's gargantuan corruption, have the decency to at least cite the source when plagiarising this site's content without attribution (exhibit Reuters here and here, exhibit Bloomberg here, exhibit OCCRP here). To all readers, do the right thing, the honest thing: support independent investigative journalism, help us expose rampant corruption. Note added 28/06/2021: impostors are using INFODIO's former editor's full name, and a fake email address (alek.boyd.arregui at gmail.com) to send copyright infringement claims / take down requests to web hosting companies (exhibit Hostgator). The attempt is yet another effort paid by corrupt thugs to erase information about their criminal activities. Infodio.com has no issues with other websites / journalists using / posting information published here, so long as the source is properly cited.

[UPDATE] Twitter suspends @alekboyd account

10 years ago By Alek Boyd

For the last few weeks I have been trying to get Twitter to enforce their own guidelines, with respect to a "parody" account, probably run by hacker RaFa Nuñez, called @alekboydoficial. This is an example of the sort of "parody" put out by said account:

Twitter has, thus far, failed to act on the many examples of hatred, racism, homophobic, and violence calls posted in that account, an account that has my name, my picture and "oficial" added to it.

Today, 24 March 2014, Twitter has decided to suspend my account, rather than the "parody" account @alekboydoficial:

I think they suspended the wrong account, but in any case my question to Twitter is: why has my account been suspended?

UPDATE, 25 March 2014, 07:30 GMT: Twitter has reinstated my account and has suspended RaFa's @alekboydoficial. It was all a momentary confusion.
