TWITTER FILES - BRAZIL Brazil is engaged in a sweeping crackdown on free speech led by a Supreme Court justice named Alexandre de Moraes.
De
Moraes has thrown people in jail without trial for things they posted
on social media. He has demanded the removal of users from social media
platforms. And he has required the censorship of specific posts, without
giving users any right of appeal or even the right to see the evidence
presented against them.
Now, Twitter Files, released here for the
first time, reveal that de Moraes and the Superior Electoral Court he
controls engaged in a clear attempt to undermine democracy in Brazil.
They:
— illegally demanded that Twitter reveal personal details about Twitter users who used hashtags he did not like;
— demanded access to Twitter’s internal data, in violation of Twitter policy;
— sought to censor, unilaterally, Twitter posts by sitting members of Brazil’s Congress;
— sought to weaponize Twitter’s content moderation policies against supporters of then-president @jairbolsonaro
The
Files show: the origins of the Brazilian judiciary’s demand for
sweeping censorship powers; the court’s use of censorship for
anti-democratic election interference; and the birth of the Censorship
Industrial Complex in Brazil.

We presented these findings to de Moraes, to the Supreme Court (STF), and to the High Electoral Court (TSE). None responded.
MODERATION IN DEFENSE OF TRUTH IS A SERVICE RENDERED TO LIE
VÁCLAV HAVEL, in his "The Power of the Powerless", describes a society without freedom and without truth - "In the post-totalitarian system, therefore, living within the truth has
more than a mere existential dimension (returning humanity to its
inherent nature), or a noetic dimension (revealing reality as it is), or
a moral dimension (setting an example for others). It also has an
unambiguous political dimension. If the main pillar of the system is
living a lie, then it is not surprising that the fundamental threat to
it is living the truth. This is why it must be suppressed more severely
than anything else."

Eli Vieira @EliVieiraJr - Hoje eu e @david_agape_ revelamos com Shellenberger os Twitter Files Brasil. TSE, segundo os próprios consultores jurídicos do antigo Twitter, violou o Marco Civil e "direitos constitucionais" para coletar dados em massa de cidadãos brasileiros com base em hashtag.

THE LEFT IS NOT FOR FREEDOM BECAUSE FREEDOM BRINGS THE TRUTH.
The dynamics of democracy and freedom are diversity, confrontation of ideas and trust in the people who can elect the best ideas as much as they can elect presidents. The left doesn't believe this. It bets on a single voice, a single ideology that replaces truth and the free search for truth. She bets everything on Power. And everyone reaps the totalitarian fruits of this.
A ESQUERDA NÃO É A FAVOR DA LIBERDADE PORQUE A LIBERDADE TRAZ A VERDADE.
A dinâmica da democracia e da liberdade é de diversidade, confronto de idéias e confiança no povo que pode eleger as melhores idéias tanto quanto pode eleger presidentes. A esquerda não crê nisto. Ela aposta em uma única voz, uma única ideologia que substitui a verdade e a livre busca da verdade. Ela aposta tudo no Poder. E todos colhem os frutos totalitários disto.

TOTALITARISMO E IDEOLOGIA - VACLAV HAVEL "No sistema "pós-totalitário", portanto, viver dentro da verdade tem mais
do que uma mera dimensão existencial (devolvendo a humanidade à sua
natureza inerente), ou uma dimensão noética (revelando a realidade como
ela é), ou uma dimensão moral (dando um exemplo para outros). Tem também
uma dimensão política inequívoca. Se o principal pilar do sistema é
viver uma mentira, então não é surpreendente que a ameaça fundamental ao
mesmo seja viver a verdade. É por isso que deve ser reprimido mais
severamente do que qualquer outra coisa." https://conspiratio3.blogspot.com/2023/11/tudo-e-politica.html
