Thousands of Brazilians went to the streets on Saturday to protest the government's crusade of censorship against platform X Elona Muska.
The demonstration, held Saturday on independency Day, was conducted by erstwhile Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, who in consequence to the words of ultimate Court justice Alexandre de Moraes said: "I hope that the national legislature will halt Alexandre de Moraes, the dictator who does more harm to Brazil than Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva himself.".
Several well-known X accounts, including writer Michael Shellenberger, study from the main boulevard in São Paulo, where tens of thousands of people present met in opposition to Brazil's utmost left-wing president Luiza Inácio Luli da Silva and ultimate Court justice Alexandre de Moraes, who late blocked X across the country.
Here is more information from Shellenberger on this situation:
Brazilian president Lula and ultimate Court justice Alexandre de Moraes say they must block X to defend Brazil's independence. They say that X is simply a platform for dangerous, false and hateful words, and many of these words violate Brazilian law and constitution.
But their censorship goes far beyond what the Brazilian constitution allows. The government demanded that X and another social networks censor and block access to individuals, including journalists and politicians. specified prohibitions are immoral, illegal and unconstitutional. They are interference in elections and undermine democracy, preventing candidates from giving up.
I agree that lying is wrong, hatred speech is ugly, and freedom of speech has its limits. We cannot let people to usage words that straight lead to physical violence.
But everyone lies, everyone engages in hatred speech, and the limits of freedom of speech can never include elections. Imagine what would happen if a lie was illegal: everyone should go to jail, starting with journalists and politicians. As for hatred speech, did Lula express hatred erstwhile he praised Adolf Hitler? Doesn't he express hatred all time he talks about Elon Musku and Jair Bolsonaro?
People blame the speech for the chaos of January 6 in the United States and January 8 in Brazil. But the events of those days resulted from inadequate security, not from what anyone said on the Internet. And if the government can censor adverse electoral information, how would anyone know that the government stole the election?
Democracy and safe elections depend on freedom of speech. The thought that we request to censor words to defend democracy lies with another Orwellian ideas specified as "War is peace" and "slavery is freedom". For thousands of years democracy and freedom have gone hand in hand, as have censorship and dictatorship.
In a separate post, X Shellenberger said, "The crowd was absolutely huge. No uncertainty it was 1 of the biggest protests against freedom of speech in history."

Journalists Rebel News were besides on site, recording immense crowds utilizing drone recordings.
The left-wing run of censorship against political opponents is far besides well known to Americans – Democrats spent years on a crusade to destruct political opponents under the pretext of "disinformation" and "disinformation".
His son, Eduardo Bolsonaro, said that Moraes was planning "to end freedom of speech in the country" and called for the impeachment of the President. He added that Elon Musk "understands that the fight is about freedom of speech and goes beyond economical issues"
Eduardo Bolsonaro late spoke to Conservative writer Breanna Morello about an utmost left-wing government utilizing the cover of "hate speech" to kill the Bolsonaro movement.
Last week, shortly after X was banned in Brazil, in the USA, erstwhile vice-president of the National Democratic organization Committee, Keith Ellison, wrote on X: "Thank you Brazil".
The utmost left actually wants to ban any statements it disagrees with.
The crucial thing is that utmost left-wing politicians in both Americas and the West wage an open war against freedom of speech and social media platforms Muskabecause their political opponents and narratives approved by NGOs are gaining besides much popularity. The crusade of censorship shows that the utmost left is desperate and will hotel to ban free speech to silence political opponents.
The Left continues to exert itself
Meanwhile, on Saturday a elder MP of the German Green Party, Anton Hofreiter, president of the Bundestag European Policy Commission, told journalists from the Funke Media Groupthat radicalisation on the net is simply a serious problem, stressing the request to halt the spread of "anticonstitutional content" on the Internet. He stressed the importance of addressing the root causes of radicalisation both online and in society. Hofreiter argued that social media platforms that do not comply with German law and do not remove "extremistic content" should be blocked, specifically pointing to X.
