You do know it's about the people who stormed government buildings in a riot to overthrow the government?

If the side wants violence and a Coup d'État by the military it's definitely the wrong side.

The winners determine whether it is an overthrow attempt or a protest.

Your making the claim that all of the secret censorship decrees issues by Alexandre de Moraes are related to the protests after the election in 2023, they are not.

Actually, I don't. This is not public information, and hearsay goes on several different directions. Yours is only one of those.

Sure. Kind of late doing this after a year and a half, don't you think? Maybe Morales did it so it doesn't happen again, but it will anyway on another platform that isn't banned yet.

Given what they did to hinder the opposition before the election I would say as free and fair as in Russia.
