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.
