... Huh? Back up a bit. So what you're telling me is all this stuff you're claiming is "fake news" is not actually false. Is that it? You admit that now?
"Distorted"? Come on. It's either true or false. Evaluate the words and pick one.
Bolsonaro's political campaign stated the simplest of facts literally point blank. I remember it, I was there. Straight up called the guy a socialist, a friend of dictators. Are you or are you NOT claiming those statements are FALSE?
And don't give that "distorted" nonsense either. It's pretty clear cut. True or false? Answer it. Your entire "fake news" narrative rests on that answer.
> You cannot, for example, spend money in secret, with undeclared propaganda
So... So your problem with the statements is how they paid for the publicity? Not that they're supposedly false?
> Neither you can create videos with distorted information.
Contradicted by the brazilian constitution. "The manifestation of thought, creation, of expression and of information, in any form and by any process or vehicle, shall suffer no restriction".
You gonna claim the literal law of Brazil is "distorted"?
There are no "fake news" laws, by the way. After the elections they tried to get one passed but it was rejected by representatives elected by the brazilian people.
So when you say "I can't" do this and that, I'm afraid you're gonna have to cite the law that prohibits it. Because I don't think I've ever seen that law. All I've seen is supreme court judges and their "resolutions". I suppose that's fine too... If you accept that this country is not actually a democracy.
> All these are fair reasons to remove content.
How about no. Government censorship is never justified.
> blinded by far right ideology or McCarthyism
If anything there isn't enough "McCarthyism" to go around. Communism is one of the most genocidal and destructive politics ever invented. Why is it that they get to freely infiltrate my society?
You'll oppose neo-nazis but not communists? Why is it that in Brazil neo-nazis go straight to jail but unabashed socialists get to walk the soil of my country completely unimpeded? Why is it that they get to become president, supreme court judges? What a total joke. If you're gonna criminalize nazism, then I demand that you also criminalize communism.
