Brazil Blocks Rumble in New Blow to Free Speech

641 sats \ 29 comments \ @TomK 10 Sep news

Brazil has joined the ranks of countries restricting access to Rumble, the leading platform for free speech, in a move raising concerns over global information control. CEO Chris Pavlovski, sounding the alarm on escalating restrictions, pointed out that nations like France, Russia, and China have also taken steps to ban the site.

This latest crackdown stems from Brazilian judge De Moraes, notorious for his assaults on freedom of expression. Pavlovski responded strongly, stating, “World powers fear platforms like Rumble, X, Telegram, and Truth Social. Their aim is control, but we stand firm against censorship.”

What's even more sad to me is that people are so brainwashed that the government is always right that there isn't an immediate outrage with torches and pitchforks.

People are being denied a basic freedom to consume content OF THEIR FREE CHOICE and don't push back immediately? smh

Even here in SN you can read some comments against free speech. Elite are doing great job brainwashing and using Digital IDs as next step

censorship is a short-sighted move by governments, it brings more attention to whatever it is they are trying to hide

Typical late stage control state behaviour

I wonder what a better alternative is to censorship - from the state's perspective.

Some ideas:

ramp up the good ol' bread and circuses
bring in the academics to analyse to death the good ideas raised by the state's opponents
incentivise celebrities to endorse the 'official' line

Centralization is going to keep presenting these kinds of problems. Gotta stop giving the power away and being outraged when people take it and do things we don't like.

This is something temporary, now the Brazilian government has decided to do it; but everything has a limit, they will not be able to continue with their game, they are violating the Brazilian constitution itself.

It's just a paper as we all have to learn now. It's the same here in Europe

It is totally surprising how, without much discretion, states and countries seek to censor and limit information every day, only allowing the information they want to reach us.

We need to get more content uploaded to nostr, so people can use Flare or Zap.stream to watch stuff.
