When palestiniens invaded Israel bots constantly told us children were beheaded and burned...and we believed it. Only months later when tens of thousends of palestiniens were dead did we "wake up".

    Okay, to be clear, VPN's can be used to get around local rules, but that's not the main purpose of VPN's existing but just a way people have found to employ VPN's. VPN's were created to allow people to securely connect to another network and act as if they are on that network. Originally, and still predominantly, that is used by workers to connect to their work network.
    And, as someone who has been on the Internet from the start... it was NOT created to be a free speech platform. It was created to be a way to connect widely spread locations and keep as many of them connected as possible in the case of a really bad disaster or war. Because it began as an unregulated frontier, in the same way we saw the west in the USA in the 19th century, of course, it started with lots of freedom. But it was not created to be that. It was that simply because when it was opened, nobody considered it necessary to police this new sphere (and we are lucky that happened that way for long enough that people got used to it and do push back when regulation tries to interfere.)

    Citizens in Brazil can be compared to citizens in the U.S. in an interesting way. In Brazil, about eight people out of each hundred, but in the U.S., it is about 120 per 100 citizens.

Several social media don't have it as well. Moraes is just the strong arm of a corrupt and dictatorial system, implemented since the release of the criminal Lula from jail. He does everything but following the Constitution, ignoring the due process and acting as a prosecutor.
