Socialist Lula is converting Brazil into an authoritarian regime, suppressing free speech and imposing restrictive controls reminiscent of China's stringent censorship. The country's Minister of Justice, a potential future Supreme Court Minister, explicitly declares in a video an impending end to freedom of expression on social media, threatening to employ coercive mechanisms to control and modify online thoughts and expressions. He said that: "This time of self-regulation, of the absence of regulation, of freedom of speech as an absolute value, which is a fraud, a sham, this time is over in Brazil. It’s over. It has been buried. Be clear on this. Have definitive clarity on this."
