    So the X accounts belonged to legitimate political opponents, they weren’t spreading disinformation?

    I don’t know about the judicial system in Brazil but they don’t seem that corrupted…

        How do you feel about the “Don’t say gay” bill? Because that’s exactly the sort of abuse I’m talking about.

      I don’t want the government deciding who is or is not a “legitimate political opponent”. That double-edged-sword swings both ways and cuts very easily.

        I think there are a few simple criteria to discriminate between legitimate opponents and others: spreading disinformation, bad faith, populism, the absence of a coherent political discourse, etc. If a government identifies illegitimate opponents based on these criteria, I’m ok with that.

        So, what makes you think these accounts were legitimate political opponents?
