The Brazilian communists are really doing their best to “protect democracy!”

The only thing better than the country loving you is the country banning you.

If VPNs’ are as private as they claim, how is he going to trace them to fine them?

Exactly - connect to a server out of country and no way they know. Do your research and pick a VPN with high privacy marks.

I remember when Lula won his election a few years back. The talking heads on the radio were talking about how he was emblematic of the “new” pragmatic, free-market leftists of South America. These were not dyed-in-the-wool Marxist authoritarians like the Hugo Chavezes of the past. Oh, no, they had pivoted to the center and were basically doing for the left down there what Tony Blair had done in the UK a quarter century ago.

How’s that working out?

Censorship is on the march everywhere - France, Brazil, the UK, as well as the old, familiar redoubts of China and Russia. Censorship is all the rage in the US, too - the only thing preserving the tatters of free speech in the US at the moment is the First Amendment, and all it will take is the spectacle of President Kamala Harris nominating the successors to Clarence Thomas and Sam Alito to put an end to that.

The whole point of using a VPN is the sites you visit can’t be logged by your ISP.

The only way they can know is if your VPN provider is logging it and gives it to them.

That’s why I use Private Internet Access. They don’t log anything.

> There’s no “Free World” anymore. <

You are 100% correct. Any freedoms we think we have are just an illusion. If sone official wants that freedom gone, it’s gone.

Hate speech, hate crime, offense against public order, spreading disinformation, etc … they have an entire toolbox of made-up charges to use against you.

As an example, a UK college student called a police horse “gay” (yes, the student was drinking). That harmless remark got him arrested.

Brazil no longer has Rumble and from media reports, they will no longer have X.

World powers don’t want Rumble, they don’t want X, they don’t want Telegram. They want to control information and our companies do not allow them to.

There are no other large companies fighting for freedom like we are. We put everything on the line for it, one CEO is in jail.

Advertisers boycott our companies to try and cut our economic lifeline, but they under estimate our support among the people.

The people keep us alive and keep us going.

If you want to help us, join X premium, join Rumble premium. If it gets big enough, you help us change the game
