Due to my volunteer work as an editor on Wikipedia and coordinator of Wikimedia Venezuela, I have faced online harassment since 2019. This escalated in 2022 into an investigation described by various human rights organizations as judicial persecution aimed at curtailing my freedom and that of other users.

These incidents highlight the presence of organized groups, not only in Venezuela, that seek to control the narrative and reality for their citizens. However, platforms like Wikipedia, which adhere to principles such as the neutral point of view and the use of reliable sources, help prevent the imposition of a single truth.
