What you're writing is incredible honestly.

You say Brasil is a dictatorship, yet we're talking about a country where the current president is a left wing guy coming back to power after his party being beaten by the right wing previous president and been jailed himself for corruption charges which eventually got dismissed.

It's the kind of thing that doesn't exist in dictatorship. In a dictatorship

- there's no such thing as a former president doing a comeback

- no former president goes to jail when his party is in power, or that's because he got betrayed by his own party

- there's no political switch between parties with such a dramatic different world views

> Censorship is when the government shows up and deletes what you said. And censorship equals dictatorship

Your definition of censorship is delusional: freedom of speech, like any freedom, can never be absolute, and it's always and everywhere regulated by laws.

... The former president made a "comeback" ? Yeah... Because of these judges.

They erased his crimes. They released him from prison. They persecuted anyone who called him corrupt. Hell they even gave back the corruption money. They allowed him to run for president. They did everything in their power to make sure he won. Then they banned from politics the only guy who ever managed to pry the worker's party from power.

Then they went to public events to openly brag about it. Supposedly impartial judge goes out and literally says "we have defeated bolsonarism", other judges put out statements literally spelling it out for you that "Lula is president today due to the decisions of the supreme court". Then they start persecuting Bolsonaro and his supporters. Leading us to this very moment where Twitter gets blocked nation wide for failure to comply with their censorship orders.

I actually wish I was delusional. I wish I was just hallucinating all this nonsense. Then I could just take some antipsychotics and everything would be fixed. Unfortunately it's not that easy.

> Your definition of censorship is delusional

It's not my definition.

Read the very simple words written on the constitution.

> Any and all censorship of political and artistic nature is prohibited

The accounts here were engaged in political speech.

Blocking their accounts for that speech absolutely does match the "any and all censorship of political nature" clause.

Nowhere does it say that the judge gets to censor them if they engage in "fake news" or whatever.

Therefore what the judge did is unconstitutional.

Before the elections I witnessed them censor a political documentary before it was even published. Without ever watching the thing, they decided it was "fake news" and stopped its publication. A priori censorship, something not seen in these lands since last century's military dictatorship. An obviously biased political documentary that nobody cares about and only a fool would believe to begin with... Their censorship of it was what made me realize the truth.
