This, except it's right-wing totalitarianism at work, seeking to silence the left wing (Lula et al), which appears to have won the election.

Indeed, before the election and subsequent fallout, the right-wing elmu was friendly towards the right-wing Bolsonaro, who these orders support.

No. The judge is attempting to silence anyone speaking out against the new leftist government. Meta and Google silently complied. X did not.

You're right, I confused 2 different South American elections and am dumb and sorry.

Not to being too much politics into the discussion, but Mr. Morais is hardly a leftist. In fact, he's been put there by the very president that removed Mrs. Dilma Rouseff, Michel Temer, who is quite obviously on the right side of the spectrum.
