Not really. Brazilian courts were always highly political - its members are appointed by presidents, after all. The situation has become more volatile recently, due to the polarised politics.
Courts should be a tad more neutral than they are being right now. The people being investigated, and the journalist reporting it, are well known bad faith misinformation spreaders. But it is not up to a judge to find a reason to stop them. They need to be investigated and prosecuted, not banned from a couple of non Brazilian platforms.
- defrost 3y agoYour comment makes sound points that equally apply to the current US Supreme Court.
- frozenlettuce 3y agothe difference is that no SCOTUS member is opening inquiries in processes where they are the prosecutor, victim, and judge at the same time. Fun fact: Brazil's Supreme Court can legally do that _if a crime occurs in the Court's dependencies_... well, they ruled that as the Court has Internet, and people are hurting their honor there... then it is as if the crime occurred inside the Court
