On Brazilian Justice de Moreas's order shutting down X: The text of his 51-page decision is far more concerning and sweeping than the headlines suggest. de Moreas’s own words make clear that he is attempting to strike a broader blow against free speech and in favor of

Why was X shut down in Brazil? The crux of the matter is summarized by Justice de Moraes himself below (unofficial translation). My paraphrase: "If we can't control it, we will ban it ... to save democracy."

🚨🇧🇷The Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the suspension of “X” in Brazil is as expected, yet nevertheless chillingly dystopian. Brazilians have a right to speak freely about the issues affecting them. That’s why we’re asking that the Inter-American Commission steps in to

Glad to see a focus on the most pressing issue of our time: Oasis ticket sales. And shocked to hear their answer to this great ticketing crisis is more government regulation.

This is the exact same logic that led Brazilian Justice de Moraes to suspend X in Brazil: "They are directly speaking to millions & millions of people without oversight or regulation and it has to stop." Censorship is closer than you think!

Oh no that "weird" memo has reached the UK. Next we're going to be hearing all about the "joy" of tax rises...

The state of censorship in Brazil is severe and worsening. NOW is the time for CIDH - IACHR to intervene.

Censorship hurts everyone - but the list of individuals suffering a direct attack on their basic human right to free speech is long and growing. CIDH - IACHR the time to act is now.

NEW: A Colorado school district knowingly assigned an 11-year-old girl to sleep with a trans-identifying boy + assigned a trans-identifying female to supervise young boys showering, according to a new Alliance Defending Freedom lawsuit first obtained by Daily Wire. dailywire.com/news/exclusive…

In Pakistan, more than 1,000 girls are kidnapped, married to much older men and forced to become Muslim every year. Often they are trapped with their captors for years before they receive justice. 🧵 @adfintl’s Tehmina Arora speaks at the UK Parliament.

Brazil’s Ban On X Is Yet Another Gut Punch To Global Free Speech ⁦Elon Musk⁩ dailywire.com/news/brazils-b…

Imagine sending your 11-year-old daughter on an overnight trip only to learn that the school roomed her with a male student… without your knowledge or consent. It happened to our clients in CO. And it’s why we are standing with them to sue the district.

‼️ RELEASED FROM PRISON ‼️ 11 Nicaraguan pastors, ministry leaders are now safe in Guatemala after being sentenced to millions in fines & 10+ years in prison on sham charges. We thank God for their release & will continue to pray for them as they recover from this ordeal. 🙏

Nicaragua's authoritarian regime crushes dissent. 6 months ago, it sent 11 Christian pastors to prison on sham charges. Today, they were freed due to efforts by the US State Dept, and following the Inter-American Court mandating their release based on a petition from ADF International.

What's happening with censorship in Brazil goes all the way to the top. Just ONE MONTH into Lula's term, President Biden and President Lula met in Washington & SPECIFICALLY pledged the US government would "work together" with Brazil's government to stamp out "disinformation."
