The president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) said on Monday (24) that “the people”, who were ruling Brazil before the beginning of his term of office, were only concerned with telling lies and, therefore, the country was “semi-distress”.
“We took this semi -district country. […] It was almost all in this country, because the people who were ruling had no concern for the country or the Brazilian people. The concern was to tell 11 lies a day and often the people followed the lies they told, ”he said.
The statement came days after Minister Alexandre de Moraes of the Supreme Court (STF), when checking the lack of a representative when trying to summon the social network to block the far -right blogger channel, Allan dos Santos.
In the speech, held during the ceremony of signing the expansion contract of the Petrobras and Transpetro naval fleet in Rio Grande (RS), Lula also mentioned that “it was unthinkable for us to live in a country where the President of the Republic made a point of telling 11 Lies a day, not taking into account the quality of the lie and without taking into account who was listening to those lies. ”
The petista has repeated in the speeches that 2025 is the year of truth, and that it will destroy the lie, affirming the commitment to the fight against misinformation.
“I don’t want my children to be algorithms, so we ban cell phones in schools. I want my son to be humanist and not algorithm, so let’s fix this country, ”he reiterated.
STF x Rumble
Last Friday (21), Minister Alexandre de Moraes determined the blockade of the Rumble platform in Brazil.
In the minister’s view, the video platform committed “repeated, conscious and volunteers breach of judicial orders, as well as the attempt not to submit to the Brazilian legal system and judiciary”.
Rumble and President Donald Trump’s media group, Truth Social, filed a lawsuit against Moraes in the United States, alleging “censorship” of the political discourse of right -handed people in the country.
Companies accuse the Brazilian minister to censor political position in the United States and infringe the country’s first amendment by ordering Rumble to remove the accounts of Brazilian figures from the right.
The site, which resembles YouTube – both in functionality and visual – was created in 2013 and became known for not using filter algorithms on published content, on the opposite way to social networks that in recent years are trying to inhibit speeches in recent years of hatred and protecting rights.
In Brazil, several influencers who publicize right -wing policy ideas have begun to use the platform to share opinions without obstacles to content regulation used by other applications.
The first class of the Supreme Court will look at the first week of March, the decision of Moraes that suspended access to the Rumble platform in Brazil.
