#Brazil terrorist government president #Bolsonaro: "If you are accepting this vaccination passport, another requirement will come soon, and another and another… and you know where it will stop then… population control."

This is too totalitarian even to fascists like him

Telegram set to be banned in Brazil following a ruling by the Brazilian Supreme Court

“Telegram has long been under investigation in Brazil, as the app has been used by Brazilian politicians to share fake news. There are also reports of multiple criminal groups and channels on Telegram that provide access to drugs, weapons, and other illicit content.

The situation worsened when the Brazilian Federal Police asked Telegram to take down these groups and provide data on their members. However, Telegram never responded to any of these requests. Brazilian law states that companies that provide online services in the country must comply with court orders when requested.”

Brazil lifts its Telegram ban only two days after it was enforced

Telegram forgot to check its emails, but it's all well

We all struggle to keep track of our emails, resulting in hundreds and even thousands going unread. But it's not just individuals who suffer from email mishaps — companies do too. A recent email communication issue between Telegram and Brazil's Supreme Court cut off the service there for two days, but the social media app has since been restored after the company finally found its lost emails and made concessions.

According to the New York Times, Telegram finally complied with the court orders over the weekend. The company is said to have deleted some messages containing classified information shared by the Brazilian president Bolsonaro's account.

Lifting the lockdown in Brazil: everything you need to know

On March 18, 2022, a Brazilian Supreme Court judge ruled to block Telegram in the country. That same night, Pavel Durov apologized to the court and asked to delay the ban of the messenger. Three days later, Brazil withdrew its decision to ban Telegram. Let's try to understand the current situation.

Immediately after first messages about the upcoming ban of Telegram in Brazil appeared, the messenger team sent an e-mail to the Brazilian court.

The letter states:
— Telegram blocked 14 channels at the request of the Brazilian court.
— Telegram blocked 19 channels containing similar information.
— In February 2022, Telegram blocked 3 more channels at the request of the court.
— Telegram's global search no longer returns results when searching for "allan dos santos" or similar terms.
— None of these Telegram channels received any monetization.
— The creators of the channels @allandossantos, @tercalivre and @artigo220 were accounts with addresses: @allansantosbr and @allandsantos (these usernames were sent in the block request).

What Telegram has promised to do in the future:
— ToS update.
— New features for reporting fake news.
— Permanent bans of channel owners for spreading misinformation.

The reason for restricting access to channels and individual posts was harsh criticism of the actions of the Supreme Court of Brazil.

If Telegram will ever receive a court order confirming you are suspected of terrorism, if the arguments of the court will be satisfying Telegram's requirements, it may disclose your IP address and phone number to the relevant intelligence agencies.

So far, there have been no such cases. If such a case occurs, information about this will be published on the @transparency channel.

🇧🇷🇺🇸 On the blocking of X in Brazil

On Friday, a judge of the Supreme Court of the South American country, Alexandre de Moraes, ordered the temporary blocking of the platform due to the refusal of Elon Musk to appoint a legal representative of the company in the country within the set deadline (by Thursday evening).

▪️In his ruling, Moraes stated that the operation of X is suspended until the social network's management fulfills all legal requirements: a local representative still needs to be appointed and a fine of more than three million dollars needs to be paid.

▪️The telecommunications regulator responsible for the blocking informed Western media that they are proceeding to execute the Supreme Court's ruling, but did not specify the exact timeline.

▪️Earlier, Moraes' ruling also included a requirement to fine individuals and legal entities up to nine thousand dollars per day if they attempt to use the platform with the help of a VPN. However, just a few hours later, Moraes revoked this sanction.

▪️Elon Musk, the owner of the social network, has already accused Moraes of attempting to apply unjustified censorship and of "shutting down the #1 source of truth in Brazil". Musk's statements have already been supported by some American Republican officials, but this did not impress Moraes. He insists that social networks need regulation due to incitement of hatred.

▪️The situation was also commented on by the president of the South American country, Lula da Silva: he insisted that all companies operating in the country must comply with legal obligations, even if they have a lot of money.

▪️Musk mocked the Brazilian leader's statement and called him a "house dog". Judge Moraes, in turn, became a "dictator".

🔻What was the beginning of all this?

On August 17, the management of the social network X announced the closure of the office in Brazil, while accusing the Brazilian authorities of censorship. It was claimed that the day before, Judge Moraes had threatened the company's representative with arrest if X did not comply with the court's orders.

Even earlier - in April - the Supreme Court of Brazil included Elon Musk in an investigation related to the spread of fake news on X and Musk's refusal to comply with Moraes' order to delete a number of accounts involved in this on the social network. A separate investigation was also initiated against the owner of X for obstructing the investigation.

As a result of all the legal twists and turns, the bank accounts of Starlink in Brazil, which were involved in the fake news investigation, have also been frozen. Nevertheless, Starlink continues to provide free service to Brazilians (including the military) and on Friday filed a request to lift the blocking, which was rejected.

🇺🇸🇧🇷 Blockade of X in Brazil - a precedent for the whole world

As a result of the blockade of the platform in the largest South American country, Musk's company and all its friendly structures faced the problem of losing the largest and "extremely desirable" (as reported by some Western media) media market that flourished during the rule of the right-wing president Jair Bolsonaro.

▪️Just imagine - losing more than 20 million users given that the platform lives off advertising. However, considering the pressure from the opposing group of Western elites associated with the Democratic Party, it is becoming increasingly difficult to do this. And if in January the White House is occupied by Kamala Harris, the situation for the "Musk group" will get even worse.

▪️However, not only Musk is under fire - Mark Zuckerberg recently admitted to Congress that the White House had put pressure on his platforms, demanding content censorship. As some experts suggest, he did this in case of a possible victory of Donald Trump in the upcoming elections.

▪️The situation with the position of X in Brazil is significant because it is developing simultaneously with the arrest of Pavel Durov, the owner of Telegram. Both events were (and are) accompanied by an active media campaign in the foreign segment regarding the dissemination of prohibited content, disinformation and incitement of radical sentiments on these platforms.

📌Of course, Telegram was written about more actively, but quite recently Frida @sex_drugs_kahlo talked about the discontent of X from the authorities of Great Britain, who condemned Musk's support for right-wing protesters and expressed claims that sound even funnier than the decree from the Supreme Court of Brazil.

🔻Based on all of the above, it makes sense to talk about a new round of development of the digital market: most likely, a legal mechanism for regulating behavior in the online space will be formed, the virtual police apparatus will receive its official consolidation, and the punitive apparatus will follow it.

The era of digital freedom is officially coming to an end.
