Brazilian government would get mercilessly fact checked on X pretty much every single time they posted anything. It was actually pretty funny. These people lie through their teeth about anything and everything. It comes naturally to them. I have videos of our current president admitting he makes up numbers on the spot when speaking in public. Yeah, these people just make stuff up, admit it and people still believe them. They say something stupid like "100 million brazilians are dying of hunger" and people eat it up.
Would you have us trust these clowns to tell fake from fact?
Unless it's @ElonJet tweeting. Or journalists tweeting about @ElonJet.
Making this a about about free speech is astounding in multiple ways. First, are people not aware that Brazil is a different sovereign nation, where the US idea of free speech may not apply? And a country with a military dictatorship not many years ago, with laws specifically in place to prevent another coup, which Twitter chose to ignore here?

"Twitter has become a space where antisemitism and Holocaust denial is just growing and growing."
I hope Germany is the next to ban.
His definition is of free speech is that he can say whatever he likes and ban whoever he wants.
I find your proposal of banning speech that is "fake news" equally disturbing. Trump was very happy to slap the "fake news" label when he was in power. What he also had the ability to shut down speech on the same basis?
This was the justice system that ruled that some content should be blocked, and this decision can be appealed bu the person that was blocked..
The problem here is that twitter, that was not a party in the case, decided they wanted to appeal, something they cannot do in Brazil legal system..
