"Every company should implement mass censorship and encourage countries to overstep"

This is a really weak defeatist position.

Brazil's administration is attempting to silence opposition voices, this has nothing to do with Nazis. Much like the EU uses "hate speech" laws to silence mass immigration skeptics, this is a political measure to silence people.

Are you saying all the opposition are nazi?

Because this was literally a nazi group called ""卐 Frente Anti-Semita 卐""

And? The opposition organizes on Telegram, and it's a way bigger target.
Even the current government has telegram channels lol. This has nothing to do with it. It was done by a judge, not the government.
You appear to be implying Brazilian judges are not politicized, which seems laughable given the Supreme Court as well as the message leaks.

Brazilian judges are not even in the same realm of impartiality as some first world countries. This appeal to authority falls flat, as it would if you implied Venezuelan judges were impartial.

The group has nazi symbols, and is called "Anti-Semitic movement". This is not even remotely political.
Nah, it has all to do with nazis this time.

The current government isn't like the last one, that actually used the intelligence machine to attack opposition voices.

Law kind of exists.
