Manuel Villalba, the President of the Standing Committee on Science, Technology and Communication, Venezuelan Parliament, said that there are no plans to draft a law to regulate the Internet. However, he did not rule out the possibility that the National Assembly discusses a regulation in the future, following the concerns raised by Venezuela's President Hugo Chávez and Attorney General Luisa Ortega Díaz.

Villalba added that there have been numerous attacks on the Internet against the government, institutions and individuals. Therefore, he welcomes any discussion on the topic promoted by Venezuelan authorities. "There is a clear distinction between liberty and licentiousness; you can not do whatever you like. The State has to step in (in those cases)," the lawmaker said in a TV show.

In his view, some people "deceive" and "manipulate" when they say that the government wants to control the Internet in order to restrict freedom of expression.
