President Trump and Secretary Rubio must not let these tin pot dictators censor speech and ban the world’s most important social media company.

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 is part of a public discourse on censorship and freedom of speech, particularly concerning actions by Brazilian officials. The tone is confrontational and accusatory, using terms like 'sinister' and 'creepy' to describe public figures, which can be seen as disrespectful and inflammatory.

    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The use of pejorative terms does not respect the dignity of the individuals mentioned. [-2]
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement does not promote understanding or empathy, instead it escalates tension. [-2]
  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 lacks constructive criticism and engages in personal attacks. [-2]
