"Censoring" literal misinformation is a bad thing now?
Brazil's judge lays it out quite reasonably?

>The row began in April, with the judge ordering the suspension of dozens of X accounts for allegedly spreading disinformation.
>Justice Moraes had ordered that X accounts accused of spreading disinformation - many supporters of the former right-wing president Jair Bolsonaro - must be blocked while they are under investigation.
Not sure how I can make it any clearer for you than that. Surely if they're innocent then the accounts can simply be reinstated?
If [politican you don't like] had the power to consider his misinformation to be truthful and truthful information to be misinformation would you still be in support of this? He could supress all the negative information about him calling it misinformation and prevent his misinformation from being banned.
In twitter's case, what happens when the corporation actively works to avoid accountability for it?
Of course, we live in a society which loves censorship and hates free speech. Given the hatred of free speech we are seeing in this thread, I am guessing the ideal situation won't happen anytime soon.

They seem to be quite explicit and make no exemption for misinformation.

If an evil person is trying to rewrite reality from their position of power, you'd hope the checks and balances in the government prevent them from doing so. While the Brazilian government can stop misinformation from spreading, they can also allow real information to continue to spread.
But if we go down this reductive doomsday scenario all the way to the bottom, where there are evil people stacked from top to bottom, your nation failed a long time ago. And maybe part of the blame sits on the people preaching do-nothingness and requiring a perfect system of laws and governance before taking action.

We should not be happy seeing a judge going after free speech that is explicitly protected by the constitution. This is a loss for the citizens of Brazil, not a win.
You?
These partisan judge-kings?
Politicians who lie pathologically?
So who gets the honor of being the ministry of truth?
