@folha Estão sentindo o golpe né? O Alexandre de Moraes vai cair se Deus quiser e toda farsa de golpe vai cair junto! Vocês acham mesmo que o povo engoliu o golpe de WhatsApp? Kkkkkkkkkkkkk
NYT on Brazilian Supreme Court justice Alexandre de Moraes: "He has jailed people without trial for posting threats on social media; helped sentence a sitting congressman to nearly nine years in prison for threatening the court; ordered raids on businessmen with little evidence of wrongdoing; suspended an elected governor from his job; and unilaterally blocked dozens of accounts and thousands of posts on social media, with virtually no transparency or room for appeal."
In 2019, the Brazilian Supreme Court decided the court could open its own investigations instead of waiting for law enforcement. De Moraes began running an inquiry into "fake news," and started banning politicians, members of congress, and prominent right wing pundits. NYT got the orders to remove accounts, and they contain no explanation as to why.
If tech companies want to appeal, the appeal goes to de Moraes, who rejects them.
It sure looks like Brazil had a judicial coup in the last couple of years.
