Freedom of expression is guaranteed in Brazil. In general people feel free to speak and that hasn't changed.

What has become a crime is the spread of misinformation in the form of fake news. For the most part these are still legislated fairly IMHO. But the precedent feels a bit dangerous

There are zero laws against "fake news" currently in effect in Brazil. One was proposed and Google even campaigned against it but it has yet to pass.
