Around the world, governments are threatening & censoring US social media platforms for legal speech. Now, @SecRubio @StateDept says it will deny visas to foreign nationals engaged in censorship against Americans, US tech companies, and people posting from inside the US.

Brazil has been banning and censoring journalists and politicians for years. But now it is taking steps to ban X entirely. It’s time for @SecRubio to block President Lula, Justice Moraes, and their criminal accomplices from entering the US.

The statement criticizes foreign censorship of social media and calls for US officials to take action against it. It uses strong language, referring to foreign leaders as 'tin pot dictators,' which may undermine respectful discourse.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement aims to protect free speech, aligning with the principle of doing no harm with words and actions, but the aggressive language could be seen as harmful.
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The use of derogatory terms for foreign leaders does not respect their dignity, violating this principle. [-1]
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement does not promote understanding or empathy, as it uses inflammatory language rather than fostering constructive dialogue. [-1]
  4. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages in personal attacks by labeling leaders as 'tin pot dictators,' which violates the principle of avoiding ad hominem arguments. [-1]
