Brazil's Censorship Regime Becomes Even More Despotic (Fined, deplatformed, bank accounts frozen)
Glenn greenwald ^

Monark, "Brazil's Joe Rogan," is now being criminally investigated and fined ~$75,000 for online conduct—fully silencing the once mega-popular podcaster without any due process.

This is what's coming for everyone.

The West is using Brazil as its censorship laboratory, learning how to implement and escalate their totalitarian assault on free expression.

Since Glenn’s tweet Monark has had his bank accounts frozen

All because of saying wrong think out loud and “disinformation”

I guess because of the court order , Rumble suspended his direct contract but he isn’t banned on the site and was still monetized when he was live last night

Can the banks involved be boycotted by the general public?

After Trudeau/Freeland's stunt involving the Canadian Truckers, there was a little publicized sort of bank run.

I didn't follow up with the aftermath, so I don't know how that worked.

But it does explain the push for CBDCs...

Minister Alexandre de Moraes, of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), fined BRL 300 thousand the digital influencer Bruno Monteiro Aiub, known as Monark, for non-compliance with a court decision.

The minister also ordered the blocking of the amount in Aiub’s bank accounts, the suspension of new profiles on social networks and the end of monetization of channels. In addition, a new inquiry against the influencer will be opened. He is investigated for the alleged practice of spreading “fraudulent news” about the elections.

The measure was taken after Moraes received a report in which the sector to combat misinformation of the Superior Electoral Court (TSE), a court presided over by the minister himself, found that Monark continues to post videos on new accounts. These posts occur even after the determination that suspended the influencer’s social networks.

Yes. It's called a bank run. That should happen every time they try this crap. There was a sotto voce bank run on the Canadian banks when they did this against the truckers. The media didn't talk about it for fear of making it worse. But online influencers did.

Hate the idea of Brazil going down the tubes but they’ve been playing with the wrong crowd lately.
