Wonderful. The first name on the list is the corrupt Lula toady who opened criminal investigations against @david_agape_ @EliVieiraJr and me for publishing TWITTER FILES - BRAZIL, which exposed the censorship racket overseen by Dictator Moraes. He should be a global pariah

The US State Dept just announced its expansion of Magnitsky Act sanctions on Brazil's authoritarian judge Alexandre de Moraes, to now include his wife Viviane: while Lula is in the US to speak at the UN.

The Moraes family just bought a $4 million mansion while under sanctions.

The choice is between free speech & slavery. There’s no middle path. Free speech must come before trade relations and, in the case of the EU, NATO. Demands for *global* censorship by EU, Brazil, and Five Eyes allies are a clear and present danger to Americans. Thus, bravo to this

Alexandre de Moraes is responsible for an oppressive campaign of censorship, arbitrary detentions, and politicized prosecutions—including against former President Jair Bolsonaro. Today’s action makes clear that @USTreasury will continue to target individuals who provide material

The statement and its context involve a discussion on international sanctions and censorship, focusing on Brazilian political figures and their actions. The tone is accusatory and critical, with strong language used to describe individuals and their actions. The conversation touches on issues of free speech, censorship, and international relations.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement uses strong language that could be seen as harmful, referring to individuals as 'corrupt' and 'dictator.' [-2]
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement does not respect the dignity of the individuals mentioned, using derogatory terms and making serious accusations without evidence. [-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 fostering division and hostility. [-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 engages in personal attacks rather than constructive criticism, using ad hominem arguments. [-2]
