"On June 24, [Luis Eduardo] Vivanco, founder of the satirical news website La Posta, was walking his dog in Quito, the capital, when an unidentified man began screaming at him from a nearby car, he told CPJ via messaging app. The man then left the car and said, 'Vivanco, you son of a bitch, I’m going to kill you.'
The journalist recorded the encounter on his phone; he said the man left the scene after seeing that Vivanco was filming him.
The following day, Vivanco received a WhatsApp message from an account he did not recognize, which he posted to Twitter, saying that a person identified as 'Bearded Gil' was going to 'kill you or shut your horn.'"
