It sounds like they have tried a tactic, discovered that it does not work, and switched to a different tactic which works. Isn't that exactly what they should do?

Absolutely. Do you have nothing to say about the obvious censorship, though? Consistency demands that they too be censored, since Bolsonaro was censored back in 2022. Censoring the right and letting the left run free is precisely what led to January 8th.

Is censorship good or bad?

I don't condone any form of censorship, for any reason. Brazilian constitution is also clear and unambiguous: censorship is unconstitutional, and political censorship doubly so.

The selective application of unconstitutional "fake news" rules, which were made up on the spot by the supreme court judges aligned with the left: is it good or bad?

Lula and his party spread a truly absurd amount of "fake news" between the 1st round and 2nd round of presidential elections. Why are they allowed to do it while the right was censored?

> I don't condone any form of censorship, for any reason.

Then you don't believe Lula should be censored. Lula wasn't censored, so there's no problem here.

You didn't answer my question.

Will you speak out against the persistent censorship efforts against the Bolsonaros?

Do you condone censorship of Bolsonaro?
