Original Note:
The censorship of social media in Brazil, led by Alexandre de Moraes, began in 2020, not in 2023 as suggested by the author of the note. This movement is not linked to an alleged coup but rather to the persecution of right-wing conservatives and libertarians. 2020 news: https://brasil.elpais.com/brasil/2020-09-08/casos-de-censura-a-imprensa-no-brasil-expoem-clima-de-degradacao-da-liberdade.html https://noticias.uol.com.br/politica/ultimas-noticias/2020/08/01/facebook-stf.htm https://revistaoeste.com/economia/alexandre-de-moraes-e-censura-tudo-a-ver/ https://g1.globo.com/politica/noticia/2020/07/24/contas-bolsonaristas-em-redes-sociais-sao-retiradas-do-ar-apos-decisao-de-moraes.ghtml
