The definition of free speech in Brazil is more modern and better than that in United States.

Musk is mistaken, because the accounts of disinformation and violence are of people that place bombs in airports. Freedom of speech should not condone violent actions and it appears he wants to enable such behavior by giving Twitter accounts to those individuals.

Brazilian constitution, chapter 5, article 220, paragraph 2:

"Any and all censorship of a political, ideological or artistic nature is prohibited."

Brazilian HN users downvoting the Brazilian constitution. Not surprising.

[thiagoharry]

Because the comment was like saying "no person should be jailed because the constitution says that everyone is free"! No rights is absolute, if you commit crimes or if one right conflicts with another, compromises will be made. And Brazilian laws allows to content to be removed online for reasons of investigation, hate speech or unbased defamation.

The constitution doesn’t say “everyone is free” though. But it does say censorship is forbidden, without qualifiers.

[thiagoharry]

Fortunately, there is no censorship happening. Everyone can post anything. But if it is illegal content, there will be consequences and the content could be removed.

[andrenth]

Please cite one example of illegal content and the law that makes it illegal.

HN has been contaminated. It is mostly useless for anything political as it attracts the attention of a particular crowd.

They downvoted me when I said thank you. You made an extremely informative and well referenced post which detailed the infractions of the judges. I thanked you for it and saved the post. And I got downvoted for it.

I'll reiterate the point here by also citing the brazilian constitution:

> The expression of thought is free

> The expression of intellectual, artistic, scientific and communication activities are free, independently of censure of license

> The manifestation of thought, creation, of expression and of information, in any form and by any process or vehicle, shall suffer no restriction

> Any and all censorship of political, ideological and artistic nature is prohibited

That's what it says. Censorship is illegal. No doubt about it.

You're free to say everything as long as it doesn't make Mr. Moraes angry. In wich case you're free to go to jail. Modernity!
