Mexico City ( CNN ) -- The name of the Facebook page matches the personality of its administrator : Courage for Tamaulipas . Tamaulipas is the northeastern Mexican state that borders Texas , a diverse place whose reputation is overshadowed by violence carried out by rival drug cartels . Under threats from the drug gangs , many media outlets make the choice to self-censor and not cover the violence . But reporting violence is precisely what Courage for Tamaulipas does . The Facebook page , which has reported on the region 's violence for more than a year , will remain active despite a bounty put on the administrator , presumably by a cartel . In an interview with CNNMexico , the blogger says he will continue to post complaints , even though there is now a price for uncovering his identity : 600,000 pesos , or about $ 46,000 . The threat surfaced in recent weeks with fliers offering a reward for information on the identity of the administrator or his family . `` I think what is happening to me is the least relevant thing that is happening in my state , '' the blogger said . `` There are hundreds of families waiting for their missing ones , who at their moment of filing complaints were filled with fear by authorities who told them to assume they are dead . '' Tamaulipas has one of the highest levels of violence in Mexico . It is among the states with the highest levels of homicide , extortion and kidnapping , according to official statistics . `` The criminals truly think that they are in the right and that everyone else should obey them , '' the blogger said . `` They think that crime is a job and causing damage is a right . '' Criminals lower their profile . The violence in Tamaulipas persists , despite the reduction in the intensity of shootouts between groups , the administrator said . `` ( Organized crime ) has only lowered its profile . It carries out its activities like always , kidnapping , executing , disappearing people , terrorizing , '' he said . `` What has declined in the past years are the illegal roadblocks and the very large shootouts , but the criminal control remains the same , or stronger . '' The administration of former President Felipe Calderon , who left office in 2012 , attributed the violence in Tamaulipas to a turf war between the Gulf cartel and the Zetas cartel over control of drug smuggling routes to the United States . To combat them , in 2010 he launched an operation that sent additional security forces to Tamaulipas and the neighboring Nuevo Leon state . The threat . The offers of reward money in exchange for information about Courage for Tamaulipas first surfaced between February 8 and 10 . During those days , anonymous fliers began to circulate in Ciudad Victoria -- the capital -- and the border cities of Reynosa , Matamoros and Nuevo Laredo . The administrator published a photo of one of the fliers and affirmed that he would not be stopped because the public values his work . `` As long as I have collaborators , even if it is only one person , I will continue doing what is in my reach to provide evidence of the situation we are living , '' he said . The government 's response . It was not until this week that the blogger received support from local and federal authorities , though some officials had expressed their support for him individually . The state general attorney 's office said it does not have any information about the fliers threatening Courage for Tamaulipas . The agency added that it does not have a protocol for protecting residents in situations like this because it is the first of its kind . The precedents . A survey by Freedom House of Mexican journalists and bloggers showed that 96 % of respondents know a colleague who has been attacked . The organization surveyed 102 journalists in 20 Mexican states . Freedom House published a report , Digital and Mobile Security for Mexican Journalists and Bloggers , which cites a September 2011 incident where two people were found hanging from a bridge in Nuevo Laredo . `` A message left near the bodies warned that the same thing could happen to any internet user who crossed that criminal organization . Those murders were followed by the killing of a journalist using the nickname `` la Nena de Laredo '' who had posted entries against criminal activity on Nuevo Laredo en Vivo , a social media forum , '' the report said . Following these crimes , the administrator of Courage for Tamaulipas published a message condemning the incidents and affirming that `` innumerable '' citizens continue to resist against organized crime 's grip .
They offer a reward for information on the identify of a Mexican man . The blogger is the creator of a Facebook page about local violence . The man vows to stop posting stories on his Facebook page .
