Yes, as in this case the posts in question include direct physical threats like threatening the children of judges with murder and rape.

Using social media to threaten physical violence against Bolsonaro's opponents has been a theme all throughout his time in power.

Absolutely none of the censored did threat with physical aggressions. It is quite the opposite.

Bolsonaro was stabbed, and almost died, by a leftist activist, with former link to a far left party, PSOL.

Dirceu, the strategist head of PT, the main opposition to Bolsonaro, gave an interview recently saying that “it is time to retake position of power, which is not the same as winning the elections”.

Marcelo Freixo, currently the most popular politician from PSOL, was saying the left can’t simply resist the right, but must work to destroy it.

Alexandre de Moraes, the justice that is censoring brazilians worldwide was for more than 15 years advocate to criminals pertaining to PCC, the biggest drug smugglers mafia in Brazil. He was put in the court after a very suspect plane crash which killed a justice that was incriminating our last former president, Michel Temer.

Dirceu's quote was retracted and said to be unfortunate. Also he was talking about a scenario where Bolsonaro executed a military coup.

Freixo meant that about Bolsonarismo, not the right. Which is a sentiment I agree.

Your claim about Alexandre de Moraes is conspiracy theory, there's no serious reason to believe he's involved on Zavascki's death.

Yeah, Bolsonaro was stabbed by a nutjob, and STF's ministers and family constantly receive threats from people online. Both affirmations are true, although that's not the reason for the censoring in question.

I completely agree STF went to far in this matter and it's worrying that they're starting to feel comfortable censoring speech. But nothing you said related to it. It feels like you're trying to imply "see, it's the left that's actually violent", which is not only unfaithful to the general public discourse in Brazil but also contributes to polarization without adding nothing to the discussion in hand.

None of the censored made threats to any ministers, other than legal political activism. I would be surprised if you could link to just one occurrence of threat to ministers.

What is unfaithful is to say otherwise. The left in Brazil IS violent, period. They have a history with terrorism, in 70’s, agency with Cuba and USSR, the murdering of deserters (see Celso Daniel’s case), money laundering to finance despotic government abroad third world and their own plan “to be kept permanently on power“ - Dirceu again, has he retracted that as well?

Although I made clear that these threats are not the reason of the censorship in question.

And "the right" actually executed plans to keep themselves permanently in power with all the violence that entails, but it's not fair to associate everyone that subscribes to "the right" with the military coup.

And this is an especially dishonest claim to be made in times where the most important and beloved right-wing figure in Brazilian politics openly defends this military regime [0], violence against the opposition [1], domestic violence (spanking children) [2], police violence, and is even associated with violent militia [3]. Had you said that during PT vs. PSDB times it would be damaging, unfruitful and a gross generalization, but at least it would have some basis on the real public discourse.

I never denied that political figures from any party received threats, there are crazy people and plain criminals in every political side. What I said is that none of the censored are involved in those. The two links you enlisted doesn't even contain names.

About [0], they defend the historic military regime (what is a shame, truly), but they have clearly refuted any military coup, even silencing supporters that do [4].

About [3], it is a year and half old, and had no follow up, entirely speculative, by a widely know fake news outlet [theintercept.com].

This is a problem with censorship. If the posts weren’t censored, we could look at them and see what they said.

Instead we have to speculate.
