I am. Brazil is unfortunately under a judiciary dictatorship since 2019, when a news magazine was censored for publishing an article about how one of the supreme court justices was linked to the county’s largest corruption scheme [1].

After this, the so called “Fake News Inquiry” was established illegally (some reasons for its illegality are described in [2] but there are books written on the matter [3].

Its been going downhill since then, with people being held in prison for two years now without accusation and with their lawyers having no access to court documents.

Elon is allowing people outside Brazil to finally be aware what’s going on here and for that he should be commended.
