> Facebook already deposed one government here in Brazil. ;)

That is a gross overstatement. Brazilian here.

It also wasn't a coup. The former is/was impeached for shenanigans involving the state petro co./graft and misstating economic numbers and many other irregularities.

Firstly, out with Temer!

It was most definitely a coup. The people prosecuting her couldn't care less about the alleged violations, that's just a nifty way they managed to get into power.

The people in charge now manage to be even dirtier.

I guess you guys proves that FB/whatsapp/Google/YouTube brainwashed most of Brazillians. After the coup, peace is reigning in Brazil (thanks to the media that stopped with the terror and the American tech companies, mainly FB, stopped their terror echo Chamber).

Just social media and not Globo TV etc.?

That TV Globo and other media families wanted Dilma and PT ousted of power was nothing new. Social media support, beginning with the "jornada de junho de 2013" was what really triggered the parlamentary coup.
