Brazil sits alone as the only ‘democracy’ to block Rumble.
Joining the exclusive list of countries with China, North Korea and Russia.
This shows precisely where Brazil’s government stands — it’s NOT a true democracy, but locked in step with China, North Korea and Russia.
.@POTUS and @USTreasury have sanctioned Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes under the Global Magnitsky sanctions program for serious human rights abuses. Let this be a warning to those who would trample on the fundamental rights of their countrymen—judicial robes cannot protect you.
.@POTUS made clear that his administration will hold accountable foreign nationals who are responsible for censorship of protected expression in the United States. Brazilian Supreme Federal Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes's political witch hunt against Jair Bolsonaro created a persecution and censorship complex so sweeping that it not only violates basic rights of Brazilians, but also extends beyond Brazil's shores to target Americans.
I have therefore ordered visa revocations for Moraes and his allies on the court, as well as their immediate family members effective immediately.
🚨URGENTE - Deputada Érika Hilton confessa que não fez estudo de impactos negativos da PEC que acaba com a escala 6x1
“Nós não temos um estudo tão específico como esse dando resposta a essas questões.”
Muitos de nós, que não tem medo de cara feia, sabemos que a linguagem empolada “em defesa da democracia” nada mais é do que um circo dedicado a censura.
SpaceX and X are two completely different companies with different shareholders. I own about 40% of SpaceX, so this absolutely illegal action by the dictator @alexandre improperly punishes other shareholders and the people of Brazil.
Brazil's authoritarian censorship judge, Alexandre de Moraes, is explicitly threatening to ban the use of X in the entire country unless it makes available representatives physically in the country (whom he threatened to arrest) and censors more in compliance with his orders.
The decision to close the 𝕏 office in Brazil was difficult, but, if we had agreed to @alexandre’s (illegal) secret censorship and private information handover demands, there was no way we could explain our actions without being ashamed.
Coming shortly, 𝕏 will publish everything demanded by @Alexandre and how those requests violate Brazilian law.
This judge has brazenly and repeatedly betrayed the constitution and people of Brazil. He should resign or be impeached.
Shame @Alexandre, shame.
We are lifting all restrictions. This judge has applied massive fines, threatened to arrest our employees and cut off access to 𝕏 in Brazil.
As a result, we will probably lose all revenue in Brazil and have to shut down our office there.
But principles matter more than profit.
