Cochabamba/ 17/ Nov/2025
Technologies of distribution, Bolivia opening a new political chapter, and the urgent fight for transparency in our telecom cooperative Comteco.
While there’s growing hype around Starlink entering the country, Bolivia still doesn’t have a data protection law, digital rights remain undefined, and our existing infrastructure lacks transparency. Satellite internet isn’t a substitute for governance, accountability, or sovereignty.
For 88 days, senior citizens, the OG (original) shareholders who built this cooperative — have been holding vigil, demanding elections, audits, and answers. Much of the media remains silent, so I’ve been using TikTok as a counterbalance, turning citizen journalism into a living archive of this moment.
Bolivia is shifting.
Technology is shifting.
And we must build systems; political, digital, and narrative, that honour truth, memory, and the communities that carry them.
