Venezuela Ven App launched on Friday
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has declared the launch of the social network Ven App.
During a special event in Caracas, Maduro announced, "Today [Friday] the Venapp application is born for the world, it will have something called line 58, which can be used by any citizen."
He elaborated that "line 58" would be a channel that receives social complaints.
According to the President, the Ven App social network, which was founded by a group of Venezuelan businessmen, would function similarly to other social applications, including a chat service, channels, and file sharing.
Maduro asked Venezuelans to join the new social network in April, declaring that it would be more popular than Facebook and Instagram.
