Para que qualquer empresa atue no Brasil, precisa cumprir leis e respeitar a Constituição. A rede social X descumpriu determinações e decisões judiciais, por isso foi suspensa e precisou se adequar à legislação para voltar a operar aqui⤵️ #Acessibilidade: contém texto acessível

Brazilian Judge Pushes Nationalist Conspiracy Theory To Weaponize Federal Police Against Defenders Of Free Speech Brazil’s Federal Police discuss me in new report commissioned by Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes Yesterday, a Brazilian Supreme Court Justice, who is also the President of the Superior Electoral Commission, lashed out angrily at X owner Elon Musk. At an event heavily promoted by Globo News, Alexandre de Moraes claimed that Musk is part of a vast extremist conspiracy to undermine Brazil’s sovereignty and democracy. He claimed that Musk was an “irresponsible mercantilist” motivated solely by profits who had “united” with “extremist Brazilian politicians.” But there is no evidence of any conspiracy. Musk did not know I would publish the Twitter Files Brazil. Nor did the Brazilian politicians who reacted to them. And many of the politicians and journalists who de Moraes is demonizing as “extremist” are advocates of freedom of speech, including the right to criticize de Moraes. It’s true that some of the people who de Moraes is censoring have urged a military intervention and have made unsubstantiated claims about elections and Covid. I do not agree with many of the statements made by the people whom de Moraes has censored. But freedom of speech means nothing if it does not protect people and ideas you disagree with. If we aren’t going to allow people to criticize democracy, elections, and vaccines, how will we ever know if they are bad? If people are spreading false information about democracy, elections, and vaccines, the best way to deal with the false information is with accurate information, not censorship. The real extremist spreading disinformation here is de Moraes. If Musk were solely motivated by money, then he would not have stood up to de Moraes, which resulted in the Brazilian government halting all advertising on X, the resignation of X’s top lawyer in Brazil, who feared for his safety, and may result in de Moraes shutting down X in Brazil. He is not simply demanding that social media platforms censor specific content by controversial journalists and politicians. He is demanding that all social media platforms ban them for life. He often does so through secret hearings without the right of appeal. In fact, it’s all much worse than that. You can’t be a politician or journalist if you can’t communicate on social media. And so de Moraes is not just violating the Brazilian constitution’s protections of free speech, he is also attacking the freedom of the press, destroying careers, and interfering in elections. De Moraes has acted unilaterally to invent entirely new laws. He is thus interfering and taking over the role of Congress and of the president. That means he is behaving like a dictator. And now de Moraes has weaponized the Federal Police, including against me, for publishing the Twitter Files in Brazil. The Federal Police delivered two reports to de Moraes, one on April 18 and the other on April 19. The reports consist of a gigantic conspiracy theory, suggesting connections and relationships that simply do not exist. The reports single me out and suggest it is somehow suspicious that I only have paid for one subscription on X, which is to Elon Musk. But there is nothing suspicious about this. I am paying Musk, not the other way around. And, as the Police report notes, Musk takes a percentage of the revenue of the people who subscribe to my content on X. And the reports claim that people who de Moraes had demanded be censored had gained limited access to communicate on X, in particular through X’s Spaces, which allows for live conversation. In other words, de Moraes is totally obsessed with silencing his enemies. It’s not enough for X to have blocked profiles. He also doesn’t want them to be able to use their voice. It helps that the Brazilian government directly pays the Brazilian news media. The new Lula government increased government funding by 60% for Globo alone. Globo is the biggest media in Brazil. It has been demanding more censorship and running propaganda for de Moraes. De Moraes is a brutish authoritarian. His censorship is as bad as the censorship imposed by Brazil’s military dictators. He is seeking, as a judge, to eliminate particularly politicians and journalists from public life. This is hardly the first time de Moraes has weaponized the Federal Police. And in calling Elon Musk a foreign mercantilist, de Moraes is using the exact same kind of nationalist rhetoric that he has attacked his enemies for using. Why does Moraes have so much power? In Brazil, people told me it was because de Moraes controls so many court cases involving rich and powerful people, including politicians and other judges. The solution is for Brazil’s Congress to open an investigation, known as a Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry (CPI). A CPI can evaluate judicial abuses of power, and that is obviously what is happening here. Under a CPI, Brazil’s Congress could gain access to communications between police and judges or anyone else. A CPI could also hear from the victims of censorship. It could bring light to thousands of cases under secrecy. And it could discover how social media platforms were compelled to obey or collaborate with the regime. Musk has taken extraordinary and historic actions to protect free speech. So, too has the US Congress. Now it’s time for Brazil’s Congress to act against the anti-democratic extremism of de Moraes. It must do so before the extremist de Moraes starts arresting his political enemies and shuts down X, and thus free speech, in Brazil.

🚨🇧🇷 THE BRAZIL X FILES: Brazilian Government Forced Censorship on X The House Judiciary Committee released an interim staff report: "The Attack on Free Speech Abroad and the Biden Administration's Silence: The Case of Brazil."  The report exposes Brazil's censorship campaign and presents a case study of how a government can justify censorship in the name of stopping so-called "hate" speech and the "subversion" of "order." The Brazilian government is currently trying to force X to censor over 300 accounts, including: - Jair Messias Bolsonaro, 38th President of Brazil - Marcos do Val, Current Member of the Federal Senate in Brazil - Paulo Figueiredo Filho, Brazilian journalist Since his public commitment to free speech, Elon has faced criticism and attacks from governments worldwide for his goal to provide everyone with free speech.

A lava jato quebrou empresas, desempregou 4,4 milhões, violou a lei, fraudou a Justiça e perseguiu inocentes. Uma milícia togada com sede de poder e dinheiro. A punição pedagógica no TRF 4 mostra que Torquemadas e suas heresias têm vida curta e ardem nas fogueiras que acenderam.

@ggreenwald @UelintonCr @folha Glenn, cadê a "liberdade de expressão" tão defendida por você, nesse caso? Quando a água bate na bunda, a gente muda o discurso? Sai pra lá com esse discurso de liberdade estadunidense. País que mais invadiu outros países na história, em nome da "liberdade". Interesse que chama.

Meu novo artigo na @Folha: o regime de censura de Moraes viola o direito ao devido processo. As ordens são emitidas em segredo. Os censurados não são avisados. Nenhum motivo é dado. As plataformas são obrigadas a manter o em sigilo. Tudo sem processo. www1.folha.uol.com.br/poder/2024/04/…
